    damn i forgot about that one. i was about to give it to "i will follow" (hey i love fast songs and that one's fast) but i may have to call a tie with sweetest thing. i love "pride" and whenever i hear "with or without you" i just think damn i would love to be able to write a song that good. so my list would be:

    1t. sweetest thing
    1t. i will follow
    2. pride
    3. with or without you

    Man am I glad there are more U2 fans here. They are hands down, my favorite band. For your poll, Manny, I just picked the song on your list I liked the most, One. But I can honestly say that there isn't a U2 song I don't like. IMHO, Achtung Baby is by far their best album. All the songs on that album are great and so freakin original. I'm popping the CD in right now as we speak.

    Well here's my top 10 list, in no particular order of course.

    10. With Or Without You
    09. Pride (in the name of love)
    08. Bullet the Blue Sky
    07. Desire
    06. One
    05. Even Better Than The Real Thing
    04. Mysterious Ways
    03. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
    02. Beautiful Day
    01. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

    Pop was a good album, I always think the video and the name of the song Discoteque turned people off, but there are some good songs on there like Starring at the Sun, If God Will Send His Angels, Do You Feel Loved, Last Night On Earth, and my favorite one on there, Gone.

    Did anybody else see them in 2001 when they were in Houston or anywhere else in the country for that matter? Great show. Best concert I've ever been to, but then again, I never got to see them during Zoo TV.

    This board influences me too much.

    I just went out and bought the 2-disc edition of Best of 1980-1990...too many good songs to pass up.

    "October" is also on that second album. Nice song.

    Let track 14 of the first CD finish....after a long pause (about a minute), the hidden song will begin.
