U2 Songs

10 U2 Songs that the average fan may not know, but needs to know:

  1. Out of Control (Boy)... first album. first single released in Dublin.
  2. Gloria (October)... One of the better worship songs ever written, in my opinion.
  3. Running to Stand Still (Joshua Tree)... Bono's version of what someone told him a heroin trip is like.
  4. Bad (Unforgettable Fire & Wide Awake In America)... Best performed live (Wide Awake version).
  5. New Years Day (War)... might know this one, but if you don't, check it out.
  6. Van Diemen's Land (Rattle and Hum)... The Edge sings it. Eclectic, but I love it.
  7. Yahweh (How to Dismantle the Atomic Bomb)... Powerful.
  8. Wake Up Dead Man (Pop)... Their worst album. But a momentary glimpse into Bono's soul during a cloudy period.
  9. Peace On Earth (All That You Can't Leave Behind)... Such a great album with so many good songs; this one may get overlooked.
  10. Trying To Throw Your Arms Around the World (Achtung Baby)... "Every woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle." Greatest (and oddest) lyric ever.
Too many to choose from. I could give you another 10 tomorrow.
