Make Your Own "Post-Pop" U2 Album...

[melon]

Here's the rules. You can only use ATYCLB, HTDAAB, and any associated B-Sides or outtakes with the albums. The final album should be no more than 1 CD or 80 minutes.

Since these albums are so similar (not to mention similarly divisive) why not start over?

1) Beautiful Day
2) Miracle Drug
3) Levitate
4) Mercy
5) City of Blinding Lights
6) Flower Child
7) All Because of You (Alternate Version)
8) Original of the Species
9) Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
10) Vertigo
11) When I Look At The World
12) One Step Closer

It's not perfect, but I think it would work. "When I Look At The World" stuck out like a sore thumb in ATYCLB, but I feel as if it fits here. What's different is that I have a lot more mellow, but great tracks, while ending on a relatively hard note, before closing with "One Step Closer." It's what "Grace" should have been, IMO.

Now it's your turn. And please, for all you hardcore types, no need to flame. It's all in fun!

1. Beautiful Day
2. Elevation
3. Sometimes...
4. City of Blinding Lights
5. Kite
6. All Because of You
7. In a Little While
8. Vertigo
9. Miracle Drug
10. Love and Peace or Else
11. Mercy
12. Walk On

That was painful, there are few others I want on there but I don't want to go beyond 12 tracks.

 

[Axver]

1. Beautiful Day
2. Smile
3. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
4. City Of Blinding Lights
5. Miracle Drug
6. When I Look At The World
7. Crumbs From Your Table
8. One Step Closer
9. Original Of The Species
10. Flower Child
11. Grace
12. Mercy
13. Yahweh
14. Walk On

That should fit within the time constraints. Not really happy with the placement of Smile, but I couldn't leave it out as I think it's a stellar track.

I don't know if I would have them in that order, I found it very hard to even pick songs. I have tried to like HTDAAB but I still find it hard to choose more than a few songs I really like.

Here is FHASLTTOANBBH album

1. Levitate
2. Kite
3. Beautiful day
4. ABOY
5. COBL

I'm inspired to burn a disc after reading this thread.

Anyone have an idea of where I might find the alternate version of All Because of You?

iTunes, but you have to buy the complete U2 to get it. Believe it or not, there is probably alot on there you don't have. I was skeptical before buying because I thought I had just about everything. Download iTunes and look at the tracklisting.

 

[LMP]

u2mp3s.com would have ABOY too
