1. Desire.....Their shortest song (2:59) is my favorite tune.
2. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.....Probably the most popular song they own.
3. New Years Day.....It's a nice piano and guitar mix song.
4. With or Without You.....Done with rock and roll class.
5. When Love Comes to Town.....Holy blues! With blues legend B.B. King and it's stellar.
6. Sunday Bloody Sunday.....The opening track from the 1983 album "War".
7. Where the Streets Have No Name.....It's a song with deep meaning.
8. I Will Follow.....Bono wrote this tune as a tribute to his mother who died in 1980.
9. Bullet the Blue Sky.....I truly love this song so much it should have been in the top three.
10. Pride (In the Name of Love).....Great lyrics. Great song.
11. Beautiful Day.....And a beautiful song and very upbeat. It was recorded in 2002.
12. One.....It's regarded by many as their best song. Although it could not crack my top 10.
13. Bad.....This song may define their sound as much as any other. Not bad...good.
14. Silver and Gold.....It has a great beat with the bass guitar leading the way.
15. Mysterious Ways.....A five star effort. Lyrically sound.
tie: Two Hearts Beat as One.....It has a pop song flavor but I still like it.
UNDERRATED SONG: God Part II.....Bono sings his heart out. It was written as an answer to John Lennon's song "God".
OVERRATED SONG: Gloria.....I don't care for their version of this cover.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH: Wire.....It's just a badass tune. Go listen to it.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: None of their studio albums jump out at me near as much as "Rattle and Hum". They do a nice cover of Helter Skelter. There's the B.B. King song (see #5) and Desire debuted on this album. Also, it's one of my favorite live albums ever.
