1. It was a great cover, wasn't it?

[Orrex]

2. Their version of Gary Powers kicks ass.

[Captain Hilts]

12. Hence, the group's name. nt

[Orrex]

13. Et tu?

[Captain Hilts]

16. Gary Powers. U2. There you go. nt

[Orrex]

18. Um. File that under "N" for "No Kidding"

Are you actually explaining the joke that I made to me?

Come on--I'm not saying that it's funny, but at least credit me with understanding my own bon mot!

3. Elevation

[Arugula Latte]

4. I like their early stuff like "Electric Co." and "Two Hearts Beat as One" and "Wire"

But also that song w/ Luciano Pavorati (sp?) -- Miss Sarajevo. Always makes me tear up.

[Zavulon]

5. The shortest one, whatever that is. (NT)

6. +1 (nt)

8. I went with "Lame" for 10, Alex.

It was a good cover of a good song, but sounded basically like some drunk Irish guys in a pub. Hmmm. Come to think of it, that's not a bad thing...

9. "Bad" is probably my all-time favorite. That simple little guitar line is just amazing.

More recently I've been partial to "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World," although that one's a bit more of a guilty pleasure. I'm also amused by the irony of it - I mean, what has Bono been doing for most of his career, if not trying to throw his arms around the world? :P

[Common Sense Party]

15. And THAT is the correct answer.

A Sort of Homecoming ranks up there as well.

[SoxFan]

10. The Electric Co.

Especially any live version with "The Cry" opening.

11. Beautiful Day

And I kinda hate that it's going to be tne new American Idol single.

[RedSpartan]

14. Tie

"Bad" (live version from Wide Awake In America) and "Until The End Of The World."

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Red Hill Mining Town

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oirbEQxV1bY

From The Joshua Tree.

And I know it's an easy choice, but the opening instrumental to "Where The Streets Have No Name" still gives me chills everytime I hear it:

19. Numb. Because it doesn't sound like all that other shit they do

[Jeffersons Ghost]

20. they're both great

[Amerigo Vespucci]

21. Sorry...it's "I Will Follow" from "Live At Red Rocks"

Everything else they've done gets in line behind that song, and that performance.

:toast:

[martymar64]

22. One

Great tune!

[MrScorpio]

23. Mysterious Ways

Totally funky

24. New Year's Day.

25. Two Hearts Beat as One

[Lucian]

26. Electrical Storm

[flvegan]

27. Pride (In the Name of Love)

Not only was it a good song, with a good meaning, I also think that this is some of The Edge's best work. The rhythm sounds like a two-track, but it's not.
