If I could only pick 1 it would be: New Year's Day, next would probably be Elevation, then Bullet With Blue Sky, then probably Beautiful Day (not sure about the last one though).

Can't pick just one!!!! I am a total fanatic.

Mysterious Ways
Desire
Stuck in a Moment
40
Gloria
All I Want Is You


I saw them in '87 for Joshua Tree and again more recently for the Beautiful Day tour. I fully intend to see them the next time they come my way. I have been madly in love with them since I was a young punkish teen in the 80's, and they saved me from having to listen to Motley Crue and Poison. :p

My husband says the part about being like a piece of glass on the beach reminds him of me, hehe.

OMG are you kidding me? You people know they were around before Joshua Tree right?

First off Unforgetable Fire, their first teaming with Brian Eno is their greatest LP... period, not to mention the perfection of its EP (you do know what LPs and EPs are right kids?) spinoff Wide Awake in America.

To pick a favorite song is very hard indeed. Honestly I dont think I can do it. Several songs off War and Unforgettable Fire strike a sentimental chord with me and even a few off the B-Side of Joshua Tree.

MLK, Seconds, 40... god so many good ones. Picking one would be like picking my favorite kid. You just cant do it.

I enjoy the post-achtung baby U2 sound too, dont get me wrong, but the post-punk masterpieces they released in the 80's are simply musical works of rock art.

/me steps off soapbox

Great topic OP - just when I think I've heard the best of U2, I hear even more GREAT songs. They've gotta be my favorite band of all time.

"Pride" is my all-time favorite song of any band
"New Years Day"
"The Ground Beneath Her Feet"
"Acrobat"
"Angel of Harlem"
"Electrical Storm"

All phenomenal!

All I Want Is You
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
I Will Follow

IMHO after Achtung Baby, their sound started changing A LOT and only with this last album did them get me back.
