My choices would be for ‘Pride’, ‘Stories for boys’, ‘All because of you’ and ‘Bad’!

Until the End of the World – but moreso live than on the album version.

In a Little While has some lovely guitar work and so does Fast Cars. I don’t want to hear guitar hero type solos, I like musicality. Count me out on “Bullet.” It’s always struck me ae very self-indulgent and more of a statement than a song.

Yes, but a solo can most definitely help make a song a “great guitar song” just as a good hook could as well (“Mysterious Ways,” for example).

I’m fine with the solo references, if that’s one of the main reasons someone considers it “great.”

It’s not a “greatest guitar solo” list.

It’s a “greatest guitar song” list.

Huge difference.

I agree with Dave Mattews. That guitar solo just blows me away every time.

Definitely going to agree on Bullet in the blue sky, that’s spectacular. I’ve always liked the solo in the middle of “one” also, listen to the version from the slane.

How about “Bullet the Blue Sky”…especially the live Zoo TV Version….The Edge’s solo was stellar

“The Fly” for sure. Good call. Edge’s extended guitar solo/bridge is one of my all-time U2 highlights, not to mention an amazing guitar display. Of course The Fly’s main riff alone should justify it’s inclusing in the RS list.
