Playlist Challenge (because we don’t have enough playlists)

[Rafiennes]

Since we like making playlists more than eating food or sleeping, I was thinking that if you could take three albums from any U2 era and make one album, what would it sound like?

Here’s the rules:

1. 12 tracks, max
2. You can include b-sides, singles, unreleased tracks, or alternate versions of songs
3. You CANNOT cross-reference eras (i.e. something from the Boy to War Era can’t show up in the Achtung to Pop era, etc.)
4. Try and frame it like U2 would – beginning, middle & end
5. Have fun


Eras:

Boy to Man Trilogy
1. Boy
2. October
3. War

Discovering America Era
1. The Unforgettable Fire
2. The Joshua Tree
3. Rattle & Hum

Zootopia Era
1. Achtung, Baby
2. Zooropa
3. Pop

The Ecstatic Music Era
1. All That You Can’t Leave Behind
2. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
3. ?????

That’s it…have at it kids!

(this should keep us busy until the next album comes out…in 2012)
