Sometimes when I'm bored I like to look at what search keywords people enter into Google to bring them to my blog. Sometimes they're hilarious, and sometimes I just can't figure out why Google sent them my way. I have a lot of lists of songs, but one list that I certainly haven't had is the top 100 U2 songs. I saw that someone searched for that and somehow arrived at my blog... well, random person, I'm going to oblige you. Here is my version of the Top 100 U2 Songs of all time. Now, I would say that various versions of some of their songs are better than some of the crappy songs at the very bottom of the list, but for simplicity I've eliminated all duplicates of the same song, and kept my favorite version of the song. (For instance, I like the "new" version of the song "Gone" better than the original.) I'm not putting quotes around the song names, and the only thing listed with them is what album the version of the song is from. (I should note that I do not own Boy, apparently. I thought I did.) Anyway, here's the list:
1. One Achtung Baby

I'm sure that if you note how many of the songs from "No Line On The Horizon" are toward the bottom of the list, it will come as no surprise that it's my least favorite album U2 has ever made. On the other end, I love The Joshua Tree of course, but I'm also a big fan of Achtung Baby. And yes, "One" remains my favorite song. I wasn't super meticulous about this list. I just tried to rank them by how likely I am to listen to them comparatively.
Anyway, my break is going great and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's surprising me how busy I've been able to stay. That's nice. Anyway, see ya.
