In honour of today's exciting free U2 album release, I decided to skip ahead of all my half-written blog posts about book clubs and literary festivals and do an alternate version of the meme that has taken over Facebook lately.
For the record, I don't think these are the ten best U2 songs. And some U2 songs meant a lot to me at the time, but I basically drove them into the ground through overplaying. I also haven't listened to the last two albums at all, although I've heard some of the songs when I last went to see them.
So...10 U2 songs that have stayed with me, in no particular order:
1. One
2. Electrical Storm
3. Red Hill Mining Town
4. Beautiful Day
5. New Year's Day
6. Dirty Day (hmmm, notice a trend?)
7. One Tree Hill
8. Until the End of the World
9. A Sort of Homecoming
10. In A Little While
