Top 10 Most Awesome U2 Tracks of All-Time

If you are connoisseur of rock then there is hardly any way you could have escaped U2. This legendary Irish band was formed by Bono, Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr., while they were still in their secondary school, and even after more than 25 years, they are still around, grooving the rock lovers around the world, with their classy music. Winner of 22 Grammies, the rockers have always been vocal about the social issues of the time, through music. The band has given us music for a lifetime, and for every emotion. U2 speaks for the generation. I present to you the most famous soundtracks charted out by U2, that still sets our heart beating and asking for more.

10. All I Want is You – Rattle and Hum


One of the most understated vocals, “All I Want is You” is a real catching track and U2′s finest ballad ever. There is something special about the atmosphere, intensity and commitment of the makers in this song that gives it a classical quality, perfect to finale the grand Rattle and Hum.




9 City of Blinding Lights – How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

It is the best number from the album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, that carried U2 in its 25th year of being rock solid in the industry. The entire song is guitar prominent. The song that tends to uplift the mood has something in it that keeps calling me to it each time. I can simply call it gorgeous.




8. Pride (In the Name of Love) – Rattle and Hum


The song was the product of the writer’s impressions of the Civil Rights Campaign, a highlight of the time, inspired by the life of Martin Luther King jr. It is a bold and fearless fusion of the secular and the spiritual, which makes it a complete and powerful anthem of U2, that has been played in every concert since its release.




7.Acrobat – Achtung Baby


Acrobat is the acknowledgement of U2′s weakness and inadequacy. It begins with a hollow atmosphere, symbol of the band’s darker and misanthropic attitude of the time.
The song was a stark shift from U2′s music that called for hope, and the whole album, was a proof enough that the band was capable to descend into the decade of 90′s.




6. .Running to Stand Still – The Joshua Tree

A melodious number that depicted a heroin addict couple in Ballymun flats of Dublin. This slow and beautiful ballad is backed by Edge’s guitar and harmonicas. The album shows U2′s fascination with American forms of music, culture and politics, while the song turns in to an anthem for the European cousins, immortalizing the Ballymun towers.
