      Pop. 'Please' and 'Miami' were highlights of the 1997 PopMart Tour that hit Foxboro Stadium (I'm embarrassed to say that was the first time I saw them) Sweet Caroline was also kick-ass.

    Running To Stand Still-One Tree Hill-With Or Without You?U2 Albums

      The Joshua Tree. The 1987 blockbuster. I still stay the side without the hits has better songs than the side with the hits, although I vote for 'With Or Without You' as U2's best song.

    The Electric Co.-Another Time, Another Place-Out Of Control?U2 Albums

      Boy. Out Of Control and Another Time, Another Place are 2 of U2's rockingest (?) tunes. Their 1980 debut is a must have for any rock fan.
