By using songs from their albums...

A typical album would have 11 tracks, i guess.

1. Out of Control
2. Acrobat
3. Ultra Violet
4. With Or Without You
5. Pride
6. Miracle Drug
7. The Fly
8. Promenade
9. The Unforgettable Fire
10. Bad
11. Where the Streets Have No Name

This was hard!
 
I'm a huge fan of the moody, sexual U2 songs. So my album reflects that.

1. Lemon
2. Babyface
3. With Or Without You
4. The Unforgettable Fire
5. Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
6. So Cruel
7. Running To Stand Still
8. Red Hill Mining Town
9. Ultraviolet
10. Ground Beneath Her Feet
11. If You Wear That Velvet Dress

The hardest thing is not being able to use B-Sides or songs from soundtracks. :wink:
 
My album would resemble the Best of 1980-1990.

My favourite songs all seem to be on there.

Cool albums people :)
 
1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. One Tree Hill
3. Heartland
4. Bad
5. The Unforgettable Fire
6. Wild Irish Rose
7. City Of Blinding Lights
8. Spanish Eyes
9. New Year's Day
10. Acrobat
11. Gone

It's convenient that my list of top U2 songs contains only 11 songs. It was just a matter of getting them in a good tracklisting!

I'm tempted to substitute COBL for Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop?) though. Maybe I need to reconsider my top 11.
 
1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. Wire
3. Out Of Control
4. Beautiful Day
5. All I Want Is You
6. City Of Blinding Lights
7. Vertigo
8. A Sort Of Homecoming
9. With Or Without You
10. Gloria
11. 40
 
1. City of Blinding Lights
2. Hawkmoon 269
3. Wire
4. Bullet the Blue Sky
5. Drowning Man
6. Red Hill Mining Town
7. Rejoice
8. One
9. Another Time, Another Place
10. Acrobat
11. Love is Blindness
 
1. Streets
2. Stay
3. With or Without You
4. Still Haven't Found
5. Bad
6. Sunday Bloody Sunday
7. Acrobat
8. The Fly
9. All I Want Is You
10. Beautiful Day
11. City Of Blinding Lights

I'm a huge fan of u2 post-1990.
 
1. Mofo
2. The Fly
3. Until the End of the World
4. Night and Day
5. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
6. An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart
7. Gloria
8. New Year's Day
9. Bad
10. North and South of the River
11. Where the Streets Have No Name

The troubled man (Mofo -> The Fly) falls in with the wrong crowd and girl (Until the End of the World -> Night and Day -> Stay) and becomes increasingly violent and abusive. He then goes through a physical and emotional discovery (An Cat Dubh -> Into the Heart) and who he really is and what he wants to be through the love of a pure woman (Gloria -> New Year's Day) and must face the choice of his former empty life (Bad -> North and South of the River) or a new beginning (Where the Streets Have No Name).

Listening to it in that context makes this playlist better I think.
 
1. Zoo Station
2. The Fly
3. Mysterious Ways
4. Lemon
5. Mofo
6. Vertigo
7. I Will Follow
8. Elevation
9. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
10. Bad
11. Streets
 
1. Zooropa
2. COBL
3. Electrical Storm
4. Stay
5. Walk On
6. UF
7. Ultraviolet
8. Red Hill Mining Town
9. Hands That Built America
10. Heartland
11. All I Want Is You

Bonus track: Last Night on Earth

They're not my favorite 11/12 songs, just have been in a slow/mid-tempo U2 rut lately.
