Help me make a 3-CD best of U2

[Irishteen]

I am making a 3 CD best of U2 collection, and am wondering what songs to but on it, all I know for certain i want on them is Where the streets have no name to open disc one, and 40 to close disc 3. I also want at least one song from each album on each disc, excluding Passengers, so anyone got any ideas.

 

[thefly418]

just wondering....about how many songs can you fit on all three cds combined????

 

[Irishteen]

80 minutes a cd so 4 hours of music all together, depends on song length.

 

[VertigoGal]

ooh this sounds fun....I'm gonna go play in iTunes and see what I can come up with.

 

[thefly418]

do you want your order to flow well, or do you want your order to be based on how good the songs are???

 

[thefly418]

as i am VertigoGal...this will be very fun

 

[Irishteen]

If the order flows it helps, but it is not 100% needed.

 

[phanan]

Damn, that will be around 60 songs or so. That's gonna take a while...

 

[VertigoGal]

Not as good as 1 or 2 but still great

 

[thefly418]

CD 3 was very tough because i really like pop and zooropa (as you can tell) so i had to put some songs on there.......i do realize that those are two of the least liked albums they have made, but i like lots of those songs
just a question.......whats wrong with mysterious ways???? just wondering

 

[VertigoGal]

Good list thefly418.

Has more of a "Greatest Hits" feel than mine, lol.

 

[Irishteen]

Zooropa and Babyface are the only songs of Zooropa i don't think are great, and IYWTVD from Pop is the only one i don't like.

 

[thefly418]

irishteen.....lemme re-do CD 2 without zooropa

 

[thefly418]

very good list yourself VertigoGal....and i was trying for a greatest hits....i snippeted every song and i also tried to get a nice flow and it worked pretty well on itunes

 

[Irishteen]

irishteen.....lemme re-do CD 2 without zooropa

Ye that would give it a better feel to me.

 

[VertigoGal]

very good list yourself VertigoGal....and i was trying for a greatest hits....i snippeted every song and i also tried to get a nice flow and it worked pretty well on itunes

yeah, that was a compliment...I got a little carried away with some personal favs, Another Time Another Place, Like a Song, Lemon, etc.
