My favorite type of U2 song is a bit different than either of these two choices. I love their rock songs and ballads both, but I especially enjoy the "grandiose anthems" the most, which have elements of both songs in them. You can put your own label on them but they all have a particular feel to me. They start slow and then build up to the types of songs you shout from rooftops (here's lookin' at you, Streets). They all seem to last longer....typically 5 minutes or more. They need time to build through 3 or 4 different phases of the song. Examples of these songs would be Where the Streets have no Name, All I Want is You, Bad, 40, One, City of Blinding Lights, Zooropa, Please, Kite (live versions), etc.
