What songs did u2 write?

Answer 1

Bono writes most of the lyrics, though The Edge has written some too (parts of songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Seconds," and "Wake Up Dead Man"). The entire band collaborates on the actual writing of the music, though The Edge seems to take the lead in that respect.

Answer 2

242 is a much closer Number. U2 has many songs that are not on their studio albums. There are many songs to take into account such as B-sides from singles, EPs, Soundtracks, and otherwise unreleased songs.

This number is taken from a full list of U2 songs via Wikipedia. This list seems to include some demo versions of songs.

Of course this includes covers that they have done(Christmas songs, Beatles covers, Jimmy Hendrix covers etc) and your question was about songs they have written.

Answer 3

They do. Bono and Edge write most of them, but everyone contributes.

Answer 4

yes
