A trip thru' the ages.....

[boystupidboy]

U2 have made ,by my reconing,11 studio albums .So heres my favourite track from each.Put them together and i think you've got a pretty good record on your hands.....
BOY - Out of Control
OCTOBER - Gloria
WAR - 40
UNFORGETTABLE FIRE - Bad
THE JOSHUA TREE - Where the streets have no name
RATTLE AND HUM - All i want is you
ACHTUNG BABY - The fly
ZOOROPA - Lemon
POP - Please
ALL THAT YOU CANT LEAVE BEHIND - Kite
HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB - Yahweh
Now the next task is to put them into a play list,here goes.....
1 - streets
2 - the fly
3 - all i want is you
4 - please
5 - lemon
6 - Yahweh
7 - gloria
8 - out of control
9 - kite
10 - bad
11 - 40
The hardest decision what what to use as the closer but 40 just won over yahweh due to history,streets was THE obvious opener.
Last thing is a name for the 'new' album,how about u2-25
A bit of a silly experiment really but would you buy my album?Would you change of the tracks ???

 

[Axver]

I'd definitely change the tracks.

Boy: Twilight
October: Gloria
War: New Year's Day
The Unforgettable Fire: Am I meant to pick? I guess ... Bad. Bad and UF are second and third respectively on my 'Best Songs Ever' list.
The Joshua Tree: Again, am I meant to choose? Where The Streets Have No Name. It's first and One Tree Hill is fourth on the list. Those four are absurdly close.
Rattle And Hum: Heartland
Achtung Baby: Acrobat
Zooropa: Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Pop: Gone
All That You Can't Leave Behind: Walk On
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb: City Of Blinding Lights

[gabriele1971]

dont forget passengers: the band themselves consider it an album of theirs, since they put Miss Sarajevo and Your Blue Room on the best 90-00. to be more accuarate, it's an experimental album from U2 + Eno.
so my list goes:

Twilight
I fall down
Surrender
homecoming
One tree Hill
All i want is you
Acrobat
lemon
slug (from passengers)
Please
Kite
Original

I would add a couple of non-album trax:
11 o'clock
slow dancing
The ground beneath
electrical storm

there you go. 16 trax in total, not bad.
