How can I pick just five?
A lot depends on the mood I am in.

New Years Day will always be there as it is the one that hooked me.
Pride which I am listening to right now.
One is an all time classic.
Bad for all the concert experiences.
Where The Streets Have No Name slightly ahead of With Or Without You, or is it?

This could change tomorrow or in 5 minutes.

Ah Miss Sarajevo.... Fabulous. Some will argue that it is not a U2 song but who cares.

To be honest I am only really getting into U2 and would love to know a lot more songs than I do currently.

Lucky you. I love when I come across an established artist with a sizeable back catalogue. U2 have no bad album (imho) although songs of innocence does not exactly grab me.

A lot of their more popular songs - Where the Streets have no name, One, Pride, Bad, Beautiful Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday......I've heard them so many times they have gone a bit cold on me.........

Last few albums have been obviously not as good as the ones in the 1980s/90s......their would be a handful of songs I really like from them.

I'd agree.....but they had four albums that were stellar (IMHO) - Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Zooropa.....

None of their albums since are bad. But none come close to the albums above.

I Will Follow and Stories For Boys - IMO U2 at their totally raw best and it brings me back to my teenage years. Actually got the Boy album signed by them in late 1981 when they played in the City Hall in Cork. Had it for years but don't know where it is now. Hopefully still in my mothers house somewhere.

After that it'd probably be ;

Miss Sarajevo
One
Sunday Bloody Sunday - when they do it live. Not crazy about the recorded version TBH but love it live.

Yes that is enjoyable to do so I am a big music lover and have been into a lot of different music, well I still am into a lot of different music I think when a music lover gets into a certain band or singer they always have a place for that particular band/singer

I have been very partial towards the music of U2 over the years. I have heard much of their songs and I bought some of their '80s albums plus Achtung Baby.

Like others have said, it would be hard to pick my Top Five. On this occasion I will plump for the following in no particular ranking order:
I Will Follow
Twilight
The Unforgettable Fire
Zoo Station
11 O'Clock Tick Tock

Other Contenders:
Red Light
Spanish Eyes
Electric Co
Stories for Boys
Electrical Storm
