First, let me preface this thread by saying that yes, I am in fact quite bored at the moment. Boredom has spawned many great threads on Interference. :wink:

So, the premise here is this: U2 retired after ZooTV, at their peak. For 18 years, people have been longing for a reunion. Now, in 2011, they finally are re-uniting, with their first new LP in nearly two decades.

Your challenge is to create a 12-track album using only officially released post-1993 U2 tracks - an album with such quality tracks and running order that when it is released, everyone, critics and fans alike, says, 'they still got it even after 18 years'.

Here is my first attempt:

Stateless

Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
Discotheque
Gone
Electrical Storm
Beautiful Day
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Fez-Being Born
No Line On The Horizon
Magnificent
Your Blue Room
Please
Stateless

Give it a try.
 
This is actually a really neat idea for a thread! Might as well give it a shot:

Your Blue Room

1) Fez - Being Born
2) Vertigo
3) Every Breaking Wave
4) Beautiful Day
5) Mofo
6) Elevation
7) Kite
8) Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
9) Your Blue Room
10) Miss Sarajevo
12) City Of Blinding Lights
12) Moment Of Surrender
 
Tried my best for the order.

The City of Blinding Lights

Vertigo
Stuck In a Moment
City of Blinding Lights
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Your Blue Room
All Because of You
Moment of Surrender
Miss Sarajevo
Mofo
Magnificent
Beautiful Day
Walk On
 
Electrical Storm

1 - Beautiful Day
2 - Vertigo
3 - Kite
4 - Electrical Storm
5 - Breathe
6 - Gone
7 - City of Blinding Lights
8 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
9 - Please
10 - Fez-Being Born
11 - Walk On
12 - Moment of Surrender
 
Catharsis on the horizon

1) No line on the horizon
2) Magnificent
3) Moment of surrender
4) Unknown Caller
5) Kite
6) Walk On
7) Vertigo
8) Fast Cars
9) Fez - Being Born
10) City of blinding lights
11) Beautiful Day
12) Breathe

Or

With my fingers as you want them

1) Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me
2) In a little while
3) Elevation
4) Do you feel loved?
5) Mofo
6) Last night on earth
7) Miami
8) Ito Okashi (Hey if Radiohead can get away with Treefingers why not?)
9) Your blue room
