Last week, with U2 bringing their 360° Tour to stadiums all across North America and Bono and the Edge on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone, we asked our readers to tell us their favorite songs by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Irishmen. After tabulating the votes, it seems like we’re all in agreement: “Bad” is really good. The Unforgettable Fire centerpiece, a six-minute masterpiece that was never even released as a single, was voted the fan favorite, beating out radio hits and classics like “One,” “With or Without You” and “Mysterious Ways.” Both Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree landed five songs on the Readers’ List. To see the Top 20 U2 songs as voted by the fans, check out the full results below:

1. “Bad”
2. “One”
3. “Sunday Bloody Sunday”
4. “Ultraviolet (Light My Way)”
5. “Where the Streets Have No Name”
6. “Beautiful Day”
7. “With or Without You”
8. “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
9. “Kite”
10. “Bullet the Blue Sky”
11. “I Will Follow”
12. “The Fly”
13. “Running to Stand Still”
14. “City Of Blinding Lights”
15. “Until the End of the World”
16. “Acrobat”
17. “Mysterious Ways”
18. “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)”
19. “Lemon”
20. “Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own”

Weegie, that “perfectly average” band has been the biggest, best band the last 25 years and one of the 5 biggest band of all time. Piss off somewhere else.

I really like that U2 song, with the chiming, echo-y guitars.

Where’s Pride?

Lemon? Are you even serious? That whole album BLEW!! Many tunes better than that! I think the Edge and Bono were laughing through that whole resording session…wondering if anyone would buy it. I downloaded it, and after listening to it again for the first time in 10 years, threw it out my truck window!

great list
good to see a lot of non-singles make it
the only song i’d include that’s missing is ‘please’ from pop

weegie, you should seriously stop listening to all those nickelback albums.

A Sort of Homecoming is the most underrated U2 song there is. Should be in the same ranks as these songs listed.
