I had a great time in April blogging each day about my 26 favorite U2 songs in the A to Z challenge. So much fun in fact that I wanted to list my favorite U2 songs (each highlighted with links back to the original posts) in this one blog post with the addition of honorable mentions, so I truly include all of my favorite U2 songs. So here we go, my 26 favorite U2 songs from A to Z!

My favorite U2 song that begins with Q is Queen, Dancing – or Dancing Queen. I had to be really creative here because U2 do not have any songs that begin with Q. So I picked a song they covered in concert whose second word of the title begins with Q. U2 performed Abba’s Dancing Queen live during the Zoo Tv tour on the b stage usually after Angel of Harlem. I remember watching MTV when they showed a snippet from a Zoo Tv show of U2 performing Dancing Queen and Bono put the microphone in front of Larry and Larry sang ‘oh yeah!’ That was enough to make me love Dancing Queen. So for this blog post, I wanted to show a video of that. Instead, I found something much, much better – Larry singing a verse of Dancing Queen!

This blog post is part of my A to Z April Challenge – my 26 favorite U2 songs. Thanks for stopping by. I am also blogging the A to Z Challenge on my other blog DeenasDays.
