U2: Top 17 countdown.

We have been told of. We have been misbehaving... I know, and I appologise.

To compensate for this I have decided to make a U2 Top 17 countdown. And I will start right now.

But first, the rules: I will only pick songs from U2's 12 studio albums (studio recordings from Rattle and Hum are included). In this way, you will definitely be able to find them on Spotify.

This means: Nothing live, no B-sides and no covers.

However, there are some songs in these categories which are deffenitely noteworthy, so that is what this first post will be about.

Live: I have always loved any live version of Bad. This is a classical and amazing version. I love the "Ruby Tuesday/Sympathy for the devil"-snippets towards he end.

B-sides: Lady with the Spinning Head. This was a B-side from the Achtung Baby-era. And you can definitely hear that. It's worth a little bit of attention. It's not on Spotify, but I found it here on YouTube. It's a little bit too long though...

Covers: Unchained Melody. Amazing song, originaly by the Righteous Brothers. I think it's a very good cover, what do you think?

Everlasting Love. The first time I heard this, I was completely blown away. It has such energy! I had heard it before, or I recognised it at least. This is not very strange since it has been a hit for a whole league of different artists.

Both Unchained Melody and Everlasting Love is on Spotify, on "The best of 1980-1990/B-sides"

That's it for now. I'll start the real list soon... For now: listen to these songs and please comment! :)
