    Sorry, but Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years Day, and Pride (In the Name of Love) have just been played to death (and, honestly, some of the ones on my list are close to it, too. That's what makes 40 so great).

    The one where Bono doesn't sing and where The Edge invents a new guitar riff after 1992...

    Hmmm....very tough list for me....

    1. The Three Sunrises
    2. The Electric Co.
    3. Where the Streets Have No Name (Live Version from Rattle and Hum)
    4. Drowning Man
    5. Bad
    6. Unforgettable Fire
    7. An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart
    8. Until the End of the World
    9. City of Blinding Lights
    10. One

    'Boy' is held sacred to me as I grew up listening to it...Edge blew the doors off of the 70s with his unique sound that really changed the landscape of guitar playing IMO. I love all of the big hits from War, but Drowning Man really had a profound effect on me. The Eno sound changed the band in a good way (Fire) and led them in a more polished direction. And Achtung Baby was such a breath of fresh air....so European after the American-ized Joshua and Rattle and Hum....that whole album is wonderful. There have been high and lows since, but the boys still have it once they take the stage.

    My top ten (as of now):

    1. Bad (absolutely love this song)
    2. Pride (too bad Bono strains to hit the high notes on this song now)
    3. Red Hill Mining Town (best non-single/rarely played song)
    4. So Cruel (2nd favorite non-single track)
    5. Miracle Drug (as a health care professional has extra meaning/ great job motivational song)
    6. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock (glad they brought this back on some of the more recent tours)
    7. The Unforgettable Fire (great song to play at night, love Bono's voice and overall "atmosphere" on this song)
    8. City of Blinding Lights (living in NYC, love playing this at night)
    9. Stuck in a Moment (when I am in a rut, this song picks me up)
    10. Walk On (another great song to play when you are feeling down and out)
