Song: Beautiful Day
Quick Thoughts: This Irish band from Dublin has been around since 1976. According to Bono, this song is about losing everything but still finding joy in what one has. "Beautiful Day" was first single released from the album All That You Can't Leave Behind. The song reached number one on the singles charts in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, AND, is pretty much on every "best of" song list for rock music.
Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List: 953

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music. My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists". As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list. I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
