13 January, 2022 Surprising result
I wouldn't have expected So Cruel to top the charts on this one, but as the spread of votes shows its a hard ask picking three.
I went for Fly, Horses and UltraViolet.

12 January, 2022 One + Mysterious ways + Who's gonna ride
My top 3 have to be "One" + "Mysterious ways" + "Who's gonna ride your wild horses?"

11 January, 2022 Just 3???
Just 3? That’s like asking me which 3 digits I want to keep on my hands…
• “The Fly” takes me to a different place. Edge’s solo transports me, interstellar at beyond light speed.
• “Ultra Violet (Light My Way)” bridges the gap that previously I was unaware was bridgable between relational longing and divine love.
• “Mysterious Ways” was my first exposure to the band. I was 14 years old and this song, played on the radio, dragged me off to a place of defiance and hope beyond despair.

10 January, 2022 TOP 3
So Cruel - because it was a tough time in my life when I heard this song the first time.
Zoo Station - my first U2 concert Zoo TV and when the concert started and I saw Bono on the speaker kicking in the air....... a moment I'll never forget
Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World - A true dysfunctional love story - A women needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.

09 January, 2022 Extraordinary songs
Achtung Baby perfectly represents times of changes happening both on a political level and in U2´s personal lives. It´s a stunning soundtrack for the beginning of a new era characterised by the fall of the Wall and German reunification. It´s hard to choose three favourite tracks, but for me The Fly is one of the most extraordinary songs. Having heard it for the first time at the age of 17 on the radio I was both confused and fascinated by that fierce mixture of unusual sounds embedded in a gloomy mood. The guitar solo belongs to the most brilliant parts of music The Edge has ever created. Acrobat is another masterpiece, with its intensive sounds and vivid rhythms accompanying lyrics that evoke feelings of inner struggles and contradictions. In 2018 I was mesmerised to hear it live for the first time in Berlin and U2´s performance was so special. Until The End Of The World also amazes me through its enormous energy, which became especially evident during numerous live performances. With lyrics reflecting themes like spirituality, sexuality and the moment when Judas betrayed Jesus, it offers a variety of possible meanings.

After years of listening to the Joshua tree i bought this album and thought they’ve lost it ! Now listening to One,Acrobat & End of the World I can’t believe back then I thought it was crap. When I listen to One especially I can’t believe I nearly dismissed this album. I still follow U2 and find they improve with age like a fine wine

The Fly, One and Even Better Than The Real Thing. I remember hearing The Fly for the first time on the school coach on Simon Mayo's Radio 1 breakfast show - never heard anything like it before! Fell in love with U2 on Joshua Tree and have never looked back. Queued for hours at the old Wembley to get to the front enclosure for Zoo TV and the Trabant Cars - one of the greatest nights of my life!!!

The Fly - a song when I first heard U2 in my life, it was love on the first riff.

06 January, 2022 Achtung Baby - my three.
1. ONE - A U2 anthem of course, but specifically the live version from the Zoo Radio broadcast sends tingles down my spine when it starts.
2. ULTRAVIOLET (LIGHT MY WAY) - The live version from the Zoo TV Tour. My first concert, my first U2 concert. Bono into the telephone. Hello? Hello? ... Sometimes I feel like I don't know ...
3. LOVE IS BLINDNESS - Again, the emotion of the live version of this song is truly majestic. In truth I wasn't a big fan of the album version until I saw it performed live and then it just clicked.
