Best of... the Noughties?

31 Dec 2009339

It's December 31st 2009, the end of a decade which saw the band release three studio albums.

The 'noughties' for U2 started with All That You Can't Leave Behind in 2000, then came How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb in 2004 and this year came No Line on The Horizon.





Was it a single release that became a global hit or an obscure album track that you think most people still haven't discovered?

Was it a track they've yet to play live or a song that no live show can now be complete without?

Was it something they wrote which doesn't feature on one of the three studio albums? (There's a handful of tracks like this... when you come to think of it.)

Your call. Tell us what was the ONE greatest piece of work the band created during the last decade... and in a couple of sentences tell us why.

In A Little While
A song rather unknown to the generel public, but what a great song it is! They've played it at the Rosebowl this year and truly hope they play it in Brussels next year! "A man dreams one day to fly..."

Beautiful Day. My whole outlook on life changed after the release of this track and I was a much a happier person.

Electrical Storm
There's amazing songs from this decade...for me the best decade of their career......and I think the one taking the most space in my heart is electrical storm....it's such an amazing song...I was in the process o becoming a U2 fan when it came out.....it makes you feel every last note in it.......and the ugly part about it all is taht it's only been played 3 times live in the 8 years it has existed..........so PLEASE....start playing it more often

Love and Peace or Else
Has to be Love and Peace or Else for me the lyrics are superb and Edge's guitar rift is brilliant. Roll on 2010 Rome!!! P.S also everything else they have written and played!!!!!!!!!!

ELEVATION Tomb Raider mix and VERTIGO are definately up there ,Rockin`Roll at its best .But Stuck In A Momment ,Sometimes ``` and Momment of surrender probably hit the spot more as classic songs especially as two of them where writen as tributes,the there`s Kite aswell.......remains undecieded I guess,they`ll have try four albums next decade...;-)
