Top Seven U2 Songs

At the last Angry Guys' Night, we did a lot of U2. Mixed in with some bbq'ing, some poker, a few cigars and (of course) the pedicures we went through Rattle & Hum, Zoo TV, and The Singles DVDs. At one point, as "Bad" was playing and I was entering a state of near-ecstasy, Josh commented that it was among his top 7 U2 songs.

Now I don't know about you, but I am used to people saying things like "that's the best beef and kidney pie I've ever eaten" or "that's got to be in the top 10 three-speed bicycles ever made" or things like that, but it is almost always limited to the top thing, in the top 5, top 10, or top 100.

Top 7?

So this one is for you to play along. In the interest of brevity (something dear to my heart, as you know), but to make sure Josh can prove his point, we'll stick to top 7. I'll go first - and for me, I'm considering these as I remember them live, based primarily on how severe the chills are that they send down my spine:

1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. With Or Without You
3. Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
4. Bad
5. Pride
6. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
7. Beautiful Day

...with Yahweh being a very close contender. Yeah, it's pretty predictable, but I am all about tradition. Who wants to play?
