U2 covered it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjlnbI2N5hs

Oh, different song.

 

[ffldrew]

Bullet to Blue Sky

Salome

Ultraviolet

 

[In The Zone]

Hawkmoon 269

The rest of their catalog, with a few exceptions, is pretty much ish.  Angel of Harlem is sorta good-esque.

Like Black Coffee

Like Nicotine

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Sunday Bloody Sunday - Sarajevo version

Running to Stand Still/Dirty Old Town - Dublin 1989

I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

Really tough to narrow to 3 songs, given all the various phases the band went through.

I agree with this.

 

[Jedi Knight]

Oh, different song.

LOL...I actually Copied the wrong link and got another guy doing the song.  That's what I get for posting at 4am.  Here's the right link.

U2 has long been my favorite band. Achtung Baby has long been my favorite album made by anyone. I don't think I can do this without editing it daily. But here goes:

1) Where the Streets Have No Name

2) So Cruel

3) Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (original album version)

 

[Raging weasel]

[dal_boys_phan]

1.  Where The Streets Have No Name - the rooftop video puts this one just above...

2.  Pride (In The Name of Love)

3.  City Of Blinding Lights

And I echo the earlier comment about the deep catalog - maybe not Beatles level, but definitely Zeppelin level.

I have no intention of doing any work, so in that I don't have any expectation that you would either.

But if you were to create a playlist on Spotify or some other type service, of all the top 3's that get the final listing in these various threads I would subscribe.

I was thinking yesterday that somebody should start a spotify playlist with either a universal one with the winners for each band, or a playlist for each band with the top 15-20 point getters.

Ha

No problem at all.

Pretty easy.

I have spotify on now and can easily create a playlist. Never made it public or shared though

[Ilov80s]

I still contend that their good songs all sound the same and their bad songs all sound different. 

 

[Tau837]

definitely Zeppelin level

Come on, man. This is sacrilege.

 

[Tau837]

Late to the topic, but here are mine:

All I Want is You
Hawkmoon 269
Pride

 

[IMAX 3D]

Might be my least favorite band of all time

 

[Brony]

Might be my least favorite band of all time

Each topic in the FFA has a title. You can use that to guide you as to which topics might be interesting to you. 

 

[Radio Free Homer]

I'm so disappointed in myself.  I forgot about God Part II, which is easily my favorite U2 song.  Rattle & Hum is just drenched in greatness.

Seriously. wtf is wrong with some people?

1. Red Hill Mining Town

Had this song stuck in my head after this thread so I searched it out on teh googles and found a link to the video.  Holy Ace & Gary, Batman!  Great song, but wow, that video.

I had to go seek out the video. I wonder if he used the same choreographer/director that Billy Squier did on Rock Me Tonite.

IIRC, the label wanted to release Red Hill Mining Town as a single and and gave the band money to make a video.  The band was against the idea, especially Bono, who was worried adding RHMT to the live setlist would damage his voice.  So they made a suckass video the label would never send to MTV.

Great tune.  I think of it as the transition between Rattle & Hum and Achtung Baby.   "Instant Karma's gonna get him if I don't get him first".
