The song is very poignant and features great guitar riff and short but heart rendering solo. Classic U2. Runner ups include: Magnificent, Unknown Caller and Walk On.

I would have to say City of Blinding Lights, and a song at first I didnt get and didnt like much but that has now grown on me is Elevation. I thought what is this, rhyme time? but see it live and jump up and down as a crowd and its a whole new level of entertainment and fun and just a pick me up song!

The song, "Magnificent," is the best praise & worship song ever written. In the 'Noughties,' Bono & Co. did more in three albums (plus the extras on Best Of, etc.) than more prolific writers could on ten albums. The song captures the band at their best and features sounds that seem to blend their 80's, 90's, and 'Noughties' styles.
Of course, it *is* extremely hard to pick just one song, but there you have it.

21 January, 2010 Kite / Moment of Surrender
Two of those songs which touch you deep in your soul and make you feel being closer to knowing about the true sense of life. These songs were written for eternety, and they're some of U2's best life-songs as well!

And I wish to hear "Drowning man" live, before I die..

"How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" is their best album ever! Because it includes such wonderful songs as "City Of Blinding Lights", "Vertigo", "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own", "Miracle Drug", "Yahweh", "Origin Of The Species", and "City Of Blinding Lights" is their best song and best song i have ever listen! It's GREAT!

16 January, 2010 total vertigo
i got into u2 around the time that they released atomic bomb. since then, they have been my life. for me, vertigo was probably a very important song in my life. just all the great guitar grooves, and being able to only listen to bass, vocals and drums through the right headphone on my ipod, really made me appreciate what this world has come to: total vertigo (chaos) thanks guys for releasing this song the way you did!

15 January, 2010 Wild Honey is it for me.
I think Wild Honey is one of their most fun songs they have written in this decade. I mean Kite has a lot of meaning and is the typical "U2" song of the decade but Wild Honey just did it for me. Not many people know of it and it took me years to actually listen to it all the way through on the CD but when I did, Wow. Wish they would play it in concert more.

15 January, 2010 Watch "Go Home"
...and be captivated by "Kite". In a word it is magnificent. Second I'd say "Walk On" or "When I Look At The World". How do you pick one when the band writes and plays to the soul?

12 January, 2010 Hard to pick...
There are so many godd songs but my fav 3 personally are 'Kite' 'Miracle Drug' and 'Unknown Caller'. There all so good but Miracle Drug is probably my favourite U2 song after 'Running To Stand still'

10 January, 2010 Magnificent
Love that song,
i do have other faves from the three albums but this track is one i love, classic U2... Edge riffs are class..

10 January, 2010 Kite and Sometimes you can't make it on
Both of those songs were in honor of his father. Bob Hewson died mearly a month before my dad, both from cancer.
I'm a huge fan of U2 and loved all their songs from day one but for those 2 songs, I find myself kinda "linked" to Bono's feelings.
And I had the privilege to hear "Sometimes" in Montreal in 2005. I cried.

So many great songs, Kite, Moment of Surrender, Original Of the Species, Unknown Caller, Miracle Drug....... Other bands can only dream of writing these lyrics and backing up with Magnificant music!

10 January, 2010 Moment of Surrender
There are so many songs that could be listed here. But if there has to be made a choice, which is so difficult, it is Moment of Surrender. Magnificent Song from the best U2 album of the last decade. Just think back at the european summer 2009 and the closing song of each U2 gig. Simply unequaled .... My all-time favourites 80-89 Unforgettable Fire - 90-99 Achtung Baby 00-09 No Line on the Horizon. Thank you guys for your superb music ... hope to see you in 2010 and waiting for the albums to come
