Cedars of Lebanon
Sleep Like a Baby Tonight
City of Blinding Lights
Kite
Winter
The Ground Beneath Her Feet

6/50.

the ground beneath her feet*
beautiful day*
kite*
electrical storm*
sometimes you can't make it on your own
city of blinding lights*
crumbs from your table
window in the skies*
magnificent*
moment of surrender*
unknown caller
I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight*
fez-being born
breathe*
invisible*
california
volcano*
cedarwood road*
the troubles
crystal ballroom
the blackout*
the little things that give you away

...well, there's like 22 of 'em or something. If I were to take the trouble to actually come up with my top 50, obviously not all of them would end up on it Gotta tell y'all, tho - no way that at least 15 of 'em don't make the list. Asterisks denote absolute, for-certain dead ringers.

I'd have to really list out my top 50 and that's just something I'm not inclined to do.  However, I could come up with a few very possibles:

Cedars
Kite
SYCMIOYO
COBL
Every Breaking Wave

Yeah, I feel the same way. To be able to answer this question I'd need to actually take the time and make the list (which is way too hard). I'm sure it'd include these at the very least:

TGBHF
Crystal Ballroom
The Troubles
Being Born
Stateless

... and perhaps a few more. But then, I literally never shuffle between U2 eras but instead tend to judge their songs only against others from within the same period. My hope is that SOE will give me a handful of tracks that crack my top 20 post-Pop U2 songs. So far it's not looking good.
