1. "Everyday" by Buddy Holly. This is the world's most beautifully simple little song. It flows so smoothly and melodically. It relaxes me. Even the lyrics are simple. He was a wonderful musician. Favorite Line: "Going faster than a roller coaster".

Can't agree with you more about "Everyday". It's simplicity adds to the song, rather than detracting from it.
As for your U2 choice, well, it's a great song. It's not my favorite, but it obviously has great importance to you, and that's something deeply personal. Funny how music has those kinds of effects on people.
i LOVE "with or without you." when i saw u2 in middle school, though, they didn't play it. MAJOR SADFACE. and yes, like you, i liked that song pre-"friends."

I am AMAZED they didn't play it for you. They closed (at least one set) with it at each one of my concerts. That is absurd. That's grounds for a refund.
With or Without You makes me cry every time I hear it.
On an unrelated note, when I was in high school, I had a very good male friend. We went to dances together, did plays, etc. Always platonic, right? Every time this song came on, we would dance together. Flash forward to six years later, a drunken night, an admission of being in love with me since he was 13, and "blah blah blah," and the friendship became awkward. Now, I cry and think "what if he was the one?" I guess I'll never know.
