How many u2 songs, from the year 2000 onward, would feature in your u2 top 10 of all time?

I really think the answer for me, is none

Right now, Cedarwood Road, Kite, and Magnificent would all be there, and The Troubles would just miss.

Wow, Where The Streets Have No Name at #59 and Pride at #60. That's definitely unusual compared to most die hard and casual fans, even the general public, plus the band itself. I don't think the fact that they get played a lot tour after tour should influence the rating, although I'm not saying it did for you.

Most of the warhorses rank lower for me, too. It's just warhorse fatigue. I bet it's common.

Whenever I do this list, I always rate the song by the original studio version. I leave the whole concert live thing out. I would do a separate list of best U2 songs live.

I do exactly the same thing.  You will note in my list UTEOTW and WoWY are #1 and #4 respectively, and they're both warhorses.  Simply put, I don't rank Streets and Pride in my top 50 U2 songs.  At least they made my top 100.
