Zoo Station<\/strong> &#8211; I always picture Bono walking on stage doing his &#8220;Bono kick\/dance&#8221; during the ZooTV tour when I hear this song. The hard beat works great with fast repetitions like a rowing maching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Even Better Than the Real Thing<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s hard for me hear Zoo Station without it being followed by Even Better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. The Fly<\/strong> &#8211; Hard for me to hear this song without thinking of the goofy videos we made for this video while running around Pleasant Grove&#8230; and my friend Brandon doing the &#8220;Bono dance&#8221; in a tree and then falling to the ground when the branch broke. DOH!<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Elevation<\/strong> &#8211; This song gets me jumping and boppin&#8217; my head every time I hear it. atu2.com suggests listening to it while on a trampoline. I&#8217;m picturing it more while using a punching bag or shadow boxing&#8230; or maybe even jump rope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Sunday Bloody Sunday<\/strong> &#8211; Perhaps the ultimate anthem? Hard not to get energized listening to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Bullet the Blue Sky<\/strong> &#8211; I usually go with the Joshua Tree album here, but if I really want to get angry and fired up about something for inspiration, you can&#8217;t go wrong with the live version from Rattle and Hum.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;Who&#8217;s afraid of a big black bat?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Vertigo<\/strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t run much, but this song and #1 are always great tracks to get me moving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Stand Up Comedy<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;Love is evolutions very best day.&#8221; Truly my favorite song on NLOTH and just a great jam to do just about anything to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.
