Oh that brings me to another one.
Allowing Bono to hold a guitar ever.
This is one of the best threads that we've had in years.
Yeah, that's what I figured. It'd almost be worth having someone try to find the one song that contains the most 'snippets' out there, just to see if there is such a thing as overdoing it.

Vertigo x2
5: Discotheque video and overall band image for the tour.
Those stupid Aung San Suu Kyi masks.
Years later, they practically repeated the mistake (partially) with Boots and tanked NLOTH (with help from undeserved praise for Bomb) all of which forever guaranteed that the U2 will never try any "Fez: Being Born" type songs again.
Runner up:the decision to turn away from the "Stateless" vein and more towards the "Elevation" vein.
Hell, they aren't even bothering (during this massive creative rehash phase during the 21st century) to mine their best period, '87-'93.
Vertigo x1.
So... ambient = good and guitars = bad?

In retrospect, although it did bring some good things with it (namely the Baby versions and Down All the Days), the way they handled the whole Achtung Baby reissue was a disaster.
First off, not making all unreleased new tracks (Heaven and Hell, Oh Berlin etc.) available on the 2CD edition was a pain in the arse. If you wanted all the unreleased new songs, you had to buy the ultra-expensive special "uber" editions or whatever. But hey, at least the two-disc version included those Perfecto Mixes!
Secondly, they butchered wonderful 1991 Salome jams like Blow Your House Down and Heaven and Hell with annoying new Bono vocals and some questionable decisions (oooh-wahs on Heaven and Hell... Christ almighty) that just reek of 2011 U2 poking their noses into something that is musically now light years away from them. She's Gonna Blow Your House Down is so horribly neutered. With a boring slide solo a la Magnificent and Moment of Surrender, which was Edge's speciality at the time.
Thirdly, including Zooropa like it's a fucking afterthought. God knows what kind of interesting things for that record they have hidden in the vault and which probably won't ever see the light of day.
And last but not least, including ZooTV Live from Sydney AGAIN as a DVD instead of offering one of literally hundred filmed and unreleased ZooTV shows (preferably ones with the Mirrorball Man).
Oh, and it spawned the remaster discussion in this cesspool.
Just a fucking fiasco on so many levels.
