Quick Thoughts: This Irish band from Dublin has been around since 1976, featuring Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr.(drums and percussion) From their 1991 album Achtung Baby, Mysterious Ways is song praised by critics, well received by fans and even studied by scholars for its perceived religious undertones. While the intent of the lyrics can be debated, the undeniable seduction of this song stems largely from its varied musical influences, from funk, R&B, and gospel music.

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.
