Originally posted by LikeASong:I was talking to a friend about his Top20 Springsteen songs. He's a massive Bruce fan and he listed mostly deep cuts and b-sides, to which I replied saying that doing an All Time Top-X songs is quite different to doing a list of the songs you'd rather hear as of today if you attended a gig by that artist. When you're a hardcore fan you probably have grown tired of the mainstream songs by that band so you tend to favour lesser known tunes - it's understandable. That led me to make a list of the best songs in general (trying to be as objective as possible) and compare it to the 20 songs I'd like to hear in a U2 gig tomorrow. Only 2 songs are in both lists, which is quite surprising!
All Time Top20
Stay
Where The Streets Have No Name
Bad
Pride
Kite
All I Want Is You
New Year's Day
Until The End Of The World
With Or Without You
Please
One
Every Breaking Wave
The Little Things That Give You Away
I Will Follow
The Unforgettable Fire
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Gone
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Moment Of Surrender
The Fly
Personal Top20
A Sort Of Homecoming
Like A Song
Wire
A Day Without Me
The Unforgettable Fire (1st song on both lists)
Tomorrow
Love Rescue Me
Exit
Zooropa
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (2nd song on both lists)
Until The End Of The World
A Man And A Woman
This is Where You Can Reach Me Now
Book Of Your Heart
Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
If You Wear That Velvet Dress
Dirty Day
Heartland
11 O'Clock Tick Tock

Next thing you’re going to tell me that you agree with War being removed from Rolling Stone’s new top 500 albums of all time list!

War has The Refugee and Red Light so it's hard to argue with that *runs for shelter*
SBS was on the verge on making it to the list, to be honest. But what do you take out to make room for it?!

It’s all matter of personal taste, of course, but I could think of at least four in the bottom ten you listed. SBS will always be a favourite of mine, mind you.
