Thanks to the strong response I got from Bonology, I decided to do a poll for The Edge as well. It was a little harder to come up with good images and quotes for The Edge, so sorry Adam and Larry, you are out of luck.

I voted for "Modern Edge." He definitely has improved his style over time and now I manage to NOT cringe when he takes the stage, which is a big step for me.
By the way, I am disappointed that we won't have a Larry poll. I would definitely vote for "Grease Monkey Larry." I'm not sure what era that is since he always looks a little greasy. Clearly, unlike Bono and The Edge, Larry found one great style that worked for him and stuck with it.
I voted for "Achtung Edge"
This is my "The Edge"...half because I don't recognize many of the other versions (due to my U2 apathy) the other half due to the visual of The Edge singing "Numb" with feet all up in his grill. That is the epitome of "The Edge"
From the mouth of Becky:
"I decided to vote for Achtung Edge because his sequined pants support the good cause of the bedazzler"
Gotta go with the Modern Edge, he finally got it together. Love the beanie.
Does this mean I am stuck in the past? The Amish Edge all the way. Although the modern Edge is hot, its all about the Joshua Tree.
Play the blues..
fledgling - so young and innocent looking
I had chosen my favorite Edge prior to your poll. I choose the modern edge.

He hasn't really changed much in the past 10 years. I think he has found his niche in T-Shirts and Tukes.
Certain men were born to wear cowboy hats. The Edge is one of them.
I liked Amish Edge and Modern Edge, but in the end I had to go with Cowboy Edge, I think he and I have the most in common.
So, I voted for "Fledgling The Edge." I'm not sure exactly why, it could be the lack of facial hair.
