Wow…that’s great news. And a very good song indeed. Q magazine is well known for quite liking U2 but I’d never imagined music experts giving ‘m that credit too…wow

I’m excited and all for U2, but some of the other songs in the top 10 aren’t exactly what I’d call “best.songs.EVAR.” I mean, seriously, “Independent Woman Part I?” Ah well, atleast “One” is getting the praise it deserves.

too funny. Creep in the best songs of all time??? it’s a baby compared to U2’s One or Ike & Tina Turner’s “River”–tooo funny
these lists are always worth a laugh

Again, looking at some of the titles on this list, U2 are damned with feint praise, but I’ll take it anyway (even though I like “So Cruel” better!) Congratulations boys!

I can agree with One=1, but independent women immediately makes this list useless. Decent Pop song, yes, 8th ever greatest, please… That’s like saying “Baby… One More Time” equals Magical Mystery Tour… It’s a joke…

“In the Ghetto” wouldn’t make Elvis’ own Top 10. But, ah yes, “one” looks good at #1
Just bought the DVD, can’t wait to get home tonight!

All I have to say is Amen. How ironic…One is #1!
