We interrupt on-topic posts for gushing about the "Personal Charts Calculator"

Oh my gosh, coolest thing ever: u2-vertigo-tour.com will generate a list of every U2 song or cover you've ever heard live, in order of frequency, if you check off exactly which shows you were at.

My list of 58 songs: Vertigo, Bullet The Blue Sky, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Pride (In The Name Of Love), Sunday Bloody Sunday, Where The Streets Have No Name, Beautiful Day, Elevation, One, With Or Without You, City Of Blinding Lights, Love And Peace Or Else, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, All Because Of You, Miracle Drug, New Year's Day, Yahweh, The Electric Co., 40, I Will Follow, Miss Sarajevo, Running To Stand Still, Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Bad, Out Of Control, The Fly, Until The End Of The World, Zoo Station, Crumbs From Your Table, The First Time, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Fast Cars, Kite, MLK, Mysterious Ways, New York, Original Of The Species, Please, The Ocean, Walk On, What's Going On, All I Want Is You, Angel Of Harlem, Exit, Gloria, Help, Helter Skelter, In God's Country, Instant Karma, Norwegian Wood, One Tree Hill, Party Girl, Slow Dancing, Spanish Eyes, The Unforgettable Fire, Trip Through Your Wires, Wild Honey.

What blows me away even more is the snippets. Yes, they tell you what you've heard snippeted. Among my 41 were:

· Happy Birthday (3 times)
· Dirty Water (2 times)
· Many Rivers To Cross (2 times)
· Rain (2 times)
· Rock The Casbah (2 times)
· Rockaway Beach (2 times)
· See Me, Feel Me (2 times)
· Send In The Clowns (2 times)
· She's A Mystery To Me (2 times)
· Amazing Grace (1 time)
· Behind Blue Eyes (1 time)
· Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) (1 time)
· Fool To Cry (1 time)
· In The Garden (1 time)
· Jingle Bells (1 time)
· Psalm 116 (1 time) Um, that's not exactly a song, but I am pretty impressed that they correctly noted that it was indeed omitted from the intro to "Streets" at one of the Elevation shows I was at.
· Take Me To The River (1 time)
· The Battle Hymn Of The Republic (1 time)
· We Wish You A Merry Christmas (1 time)

TOO. COOL.
