Agreed 100%. I think if most people were to put U2 songs into a full 1-200 (I know there's more) list, I'm sure that all of AB would crack top 25. I remember UTEOTW once being described as "the best Christian Rock Song since 'Be Thou My Vision'" and just cracking up! It is a hard order to rank though if you look at those 12 songs. I'd have to almost say though, that since 2014 (i.e. Bono can't play along) 'One' has significantly dropped in the U2 ranking; I might actually put it near the bottom of AB because of that. Even on 360 it was getting tired.

Interesting that your album/song rankings depend on the live performances - I tend to treat them as separate entities.

Thank you! I know we all have different tastes, likes & dislikes, but So Cruel is a fucking masterpiece! Both musically and of course lyrically.

Yes, really one of my top U2 songs. Probably because it got me through some tough coming of age emotional times in the 90s.

I had the same experience when I picked the album up I. 2005.

I honestly don't think So Cruel, Tryin' and Mysterious Ways would be Top25 for most of the fans. If we're to treat albums as one entity then AB is up high for most of us, but ranking individual songs you'd be surprised how many from TJT, R&H, TUF, Pop, Zooropa, NLOTH and War would end up on that Top25!

Yeah there’s no way they tracks mentioned would make my top 25. I can think of at least 2 songs from every album I like more. Even top 50 would be pushing it for mysterious ways which is my favourite of the 3.
