10) Where The Streets Have No Name: This song defines U2 during the eighties. The minute-and-a-half opener is inspirational. Why I don't have it higher, I'm starting to question myself on. U2 hits their peak musically right here. The best album of the eighties also features the best opener.
9) With Or Without You: God knows what Bono was going through that possessed him to write this song. The lyrics are mesmorizing, possible tear jerkers. It doesn't get much more emotional than this. I don't even know why it's not higher on my list. Bono's cries for help and vulnerability are breathtaking. If this song doesn't hit your heart, than nothing will.
8) Sunday Bloody Sunday: U2 has never failed to disappoint performing this song live where it sounds even better than the studio. I still often watch it played from my "Rattle and Hum" DVD. U2 spills out their Irishness in this song. Memorable moments live are Bono's screams for "No more!" and "Fuck the revolution!" Just a truly inspirational song, especially for those Irish.
7) The Fly: The studio effects on this song are mesmorizing. The song that left U2 fans trapped in the eighties with their mouths gaped. As many have said before, it represents pure chaos. Bono's "A man will rise, a man will fall" over the chorus is incredible along with the Edge's breathtaking guitar solos. The song that set U2 into the nineties, a ride that very few people were ready for.
6) Lemon: It sounds like a lemon tastes -- if that makes any sense. This song truly tests experimental side of U2 and it succeeds in my mind. The constant ringing in the background and loud bass are truly genius. You can't even call this a rock song as it sounds like something you'd hear from another planet, but the piano breaks are amazing and it's incredible to hear Bono's voice effortlessly range so high.
5) Mercy: A soon-to-be B-side that only those who search for will find. I don't know what I like so much about it. The lyrics just seem to hit me so much. There's so much happening at once, that it's easy to overlook the powerful words that Bono is putting through in this 6 minute track. Never have I found him so confusing, a reason why I can't stop listening to this song.
4) Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own: This is Bono's song, his ode to his late father actually. It's the only song on this list from their latest album, but it has quickly become a classic in the eyes of U2 fans. The falsetto with "And it's you when I look in the mirror..." and the bridge with "sing, you're the reason I sing..." are truely breathtaking from a music-listeners standpoint.
3) Walk On: Talk about an inspirational moment in U2 history. There is nothing like the closing of this song where Bono fades off into "All that you fashion, all that you make, all that you build, all that you break..." Who would've thought that a song by an Irish band would help carry Americans during the 9/11 tragedies? I just can't help but be uplifted everytime I hear this song.
2) One: This one hits you. It's this song that has put Bono up there with the likes of Dylan and Lennon. The irony of it being played as a wedding song is often pointed out, because this song represents broken love in my mind. This song is carried by its lyrics, making it seem so simple musically, but so intricate and deep. Sounds even better live.
1) Do You Feel Loved: Represents probably the most confusing era of U2 music -- the Pop era. But why is it my favorite? I really can't explain. It's not a tear jerker or a song that really hits your heart. To me, it is the peak of an album that could've been so much more. The loud bass and techno guitar are what define the Pop era, and it's a shame that not every song on the CD couldn't have been like this one.
