"Ave Satani" (Jerry Goldsmith, THE OMEN), of course!Seriously, those are good enough choices. I don't care for U2 except for much of "The Joshua Tree," from which my two favorites are "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and the hypnotic "Mothers Of the Disappeared."
Roomie has introduced me to an eclectic range of (mainly) punk recordings; "Bad Penny" (Big Black), "Turn Around," "Mammal," "Spider" (They Might Be Giants) and "What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?" (Echo & The Bunnymen) particularly stand out.
I confess to a not-so-guilty fondness for ABBA. "Waterloo," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "Chiquitita," "SOS," "The Way All Friends Do," and so on.
My favorite Beatles song will always be "Penny Lane."
NP: purely by coincidence, "As The Piper Dreams" (music by Jerry Goldsmith, lyrics and performance by Carol "Mrs. Goldsmith" Heather, as heard on THE OMEN COMPLETE! thanks again Brad!)

Well Rocco you aren't the only one who has those secrets, I must admit Take A Chance on Me pops into my mind as well. In fact my sister couldn't resist and bought ABBA's greatest hits. I do have a slight fondness to The Spice Girls. I have their first two CDs.
