I :heart: that song :love: Unfortunately the chances of it being included are one in a million. :slant:

Not really, I mean... it's kind of a B-Side... it might wind up on the B-Sides disc where Thesoulfulmofo put it.

Make no mistake that Miss Sarajevo and HMTMKMKM will be on the main disc, not the B-Sides disc

3. The Hands That Made America*

These all were or, in the case of Hands, will be singles. So I think they'd all be on the first disc.
 
1. The Fly
2. Mysterious Ways
3. Even Better Than the Real Thing
4. One
5. Numb
6. Lemon
7. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
8. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
9. Miss Sarajevo
10. Discotheque (remix)
11. Staring at the Sun
12. Please (Single Mix)
13. Beautiful Day
14. Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of
15. Walk On
16. The Hands That Built America
17. Electrical Storm

The order is obviously gonna be tweaked, and EBTTRT, Numb, and Please are all subject to cutting, I think, in favor of UTTEOTW, Elevation (TR Mix), and perhaps a remixed Gone.

B-Sides

1. Mofo (Phunk Force Mix)
2. Your Blue Room
3. Fortunate Son
4. Salome
5. Slow Dancing (original Version)
6. Lady With the Spinning Head
7. Night and Day (Steel String Mix)
8. Big Girls Are Best
9. Always
10. Happiness Is a Warm Gun
11. Where Did it All Go Wrong?
12. Satellite of Love
13. Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad
14. Holy Joe (Garage Mix)
15. North and South of the River
 
I don't know the b-sides from the 90's very well, but here's my guess at the regular track list...

1. The Fly
2. Mysterious Ways
3. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
4. One
5. Lemon
6. Stay
7. Numb
8. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
9. Staring at the Sun
10. Mofo
11. If God Will Send His Angels
12. Beautiful Day
13. Elevation
14. Walk On
15. New Track
 
why do people keep leaving out stuck in a moment???
if ATYCLB is gonna be included, this tune WILL be on there way before whose gonna ride, UTEOTW, or even numb for that matter.
 
I personally think Stuck is a really weak song. So is Elevation, but Elevation is the official rocker of ATYCLB, so I think it should make the best of. Stuck isn't as powerful as Beautiful Day and Walk On, and it isn't as fun as Elevation. So, if they exclude one of the four ATYCLB singles, it should be Stuck.

I personally, would love to see Kite be included on the Best Of instead of Stuck. Kite's a better song.
 
I am not expecting to see any tracks from ATYCLB on the best of. When you look at the number of singles from each album of the nineties plus Miss Sarajevo and HMTMKMKM you get 15. Add the 2 new tracks and there you have it. So, here is what I am expecting to see in no particular order:

One
Mysterious Ways
Even Better than the real thing
Until The End of the World
The Fly
Numb
Stay
Lemon
Gone
Discotheque
Staring at the Sun
Please
If God Wil Send His Angels
Miss Sarajevo
Hold me Thrill Me kiss me Kill me
Electric Storm
The hands That Built America

I think this is a pretty good idea of what we can expect to see. However, it is merely my humble opinion. Feel free to comment :idea:

Peace.

i agree. until the end of the world wasn't even a single, and who's gonna ride your wild horses didn't do too well chartwise (i think? i'm sure someone here knows the exact numbers), and numb was just a video single. however, stuck in a moment you can't get out of got a lot of airplay in the u.s. dunno about other countries, though.
 
I'm not sure if all the 90's singles will be included, obviously they won't be if ATYCLB material is, but if it is just 90's, there is a good chance that some might be left off. The 80's best of excluded several singles including Gloria, In God's Country, Two Hearts Beat As One, 11 O' Clock Tick Tock, and others.

Just like to state for the record that WHO's GONNA RIDE YOUR WILD HORSES charted better than any single from ATYCLB except Beautiful Day!

Now to the question at hand, some people here have been close but no one has hit the nail on the head. I really do think they are going to stick with the singles on this one. U2 released 14 singles in the 90s. 5 from Achtung, 3 from Zooropa, 5 from POP and one by itself. In order to even Zooropa's place on the Best Of..., I predict they will put the album track Zooropa on since it got top 10 airplay at modern rock radio and album rock radio in 1993. Another contender would be UTEOTW, but with 5 tracks already from Achtung, I pick Zooropa, a more balanced approach.

1. The Fly
2. Mysterious Ways
3. One
4. Even Better Than The Real Thing
5. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
6. Numb
7. Lemon
8. Stay
9. Zooropa
10. Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
11. Discotheque
12. Staring At The Sun
13. Last Night On Earth
14. Please
15. If God Would Send His Angels
16. Electric Storm
17. The Hands That Built America

I think I'm close, that is as long as they don't put any ATYCLB songs on there.
 
They also forgot the ever-special "A Celebration"!!! :angry:

Oh... and they WILL probably include ATYCLB... it's been plenty rumored... :|
 
I can't see how they won't put ATYCLB material on especially if there are 2 new tracks. The continuty will be interuptted. Here's my final guess....

Best of 1991-2002

1. Electrical Storm
2. Even Better Than The Real Thing
3. Elevation
4. Until The End Of The World
5. Staring At The Sun
6. Beautiful Day
7. Stay
8. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
9. Mysterious Ways
10. Lemon
11. Hold Me. Thrill Me....
12. Last Night On Earth
13. If God Will Send...
14. Stuck In A Moment
15. Please
16. One
17. The Hands That Bulit America

Hard choices! I excluded Discotheque because even though it was a hit, it might be viewed as a failure because of the backlash toward it. It probably represents most what some peole liked least about POP. Based on the last best of I think I am close with the list, though The Fly could be in there as well....who knows? I went the the most accessable tunes IMHO. Maybe U2 will surprise us all and put out something totally different from the 1st Best of.
