Vote for With or Without You 1) With or Without You

Easily the best and a lot of emotion!

Of course this is the best U2 song. Many people think "One" is the best U2 song but I think "One" is overrated. "With Or Without You" a classic.


Vote for One 2) One

"the song is really fantastic, it moves people... such an inspiring song..."

with or without you is a good song, it sounds perfect for what it is, but one is a great song that far outdistances with or without you in spite of its rougher sound. there’s just more there to one than wowy, which is their second best song.


Vote for Sunday Bloody Sunday 3) Sunday Bloody Sunday

Vote for Beautiful Day 4) Beautiful Day

Amazing song...

hawks12thman

The beat and song structure brings this song together.


Vote for Where the Streets Have No Name 5) Where the Streets Have No Name

Such a meaningful passionate song

Number One song of all time!

Edge’s riffs in the beginning are incredibly epic and powerful, leading into Bono’s explosive and touching lyrics. Tied for favorite with So Cruel.


Vote for Vertigo 6) Vertigo

inspirational

I think this song is all about just screaming jumping up and down and being in a better place they call that place vertigo.


Vote for Pride (In the Name of Love) 7) Pride (In the Name of Love)

this has to be at least in top 5!
1/pride
2/one
3/beatiful day
4/vertigo
5/new years day

Vote for I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For 8) I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

Easily their best

RedStripedd

beautiful song


Vote for New Year’s Day 9) New Year’s Day

Yes, we can break through. We can begin again. There is hope for the human race. U2 is about hope, and this is their best song.

A dead heat between this and Drowning Man as U2s greatest song. It’s a shame they went downhill after the Unforgettable Fire album

The lyric, the sound, the originality...is no doubt the best song of all times


Vote for If God Will Send His Angels 10) If God Will Send His Angels

Iris got all the attention, but listen to the album again. This is by far the best song from the City of Angels soundtrack, a soundtrack that ranks among the best ever.

I love this song... it’s always been one of my favorites by this band... and not many people are familiar with it... just a beautiful piece of work!

idolangelx13

One of their best and a personal fav. of mine.

Vote for So Cruel 14) So Cruel

The most touching, heartfelt song I’ve ever listened to. Although the melody might be simplistic, the piano and lyrics have such good chemistry, that the passion just flows out of the song.

Personally the best U2 song. Probably the best and most touching lyrics that Bono ever wrote.

Vote for Bad 15) Bad

Under a bloody red sky... AWESOME!

Best live U2 song

Vote for Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me 16) Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

Something to headbang to that throws a sprinkle of disturbing material in there.

This song definately ranks among "With or Without You" and "One" as the best U2 ballads, a beatiful song

Vote for The Fly 25) The Fly

Probably one of U2’s most original sounding songs. For many Rock fans who claim all of U2s work sounds the same, bono cant write, or the edge cant play, this is a disappointment because its such an amazingly written original sounding song with probably the greatest post-70s guitar solo.

Vote for Bullet the Blue Sky 26) Bullet the Blue Sky
