[Marr]

I would've put I Still Haven't Found..., Bad, and Sometimes... over Bullet... Numb and Staring at the Sun, but hey, that's just me

I wanted it be heavier and rockier...
And more experimetal hence Numb...

 

[NewYorkGirl2316]

I wanted it be heavier and rockier...
And more experimetal hence Numb...

exactly, more "rock" b/c U2 is a rock band, but then also throw in songs like , "sometimes you can't make it on your own" and with or without you, etc.. to shows the softer, yet most unique sounding songs..

 

[Zoots]

It's very very hard to choose just 17 songs from their cannon. But anyway I would include Heartland, Stay and Gone.

 

[LMP]

Well if they were to release it to a the general public, they'd want to put their more wellknown tracks, even tho it's not as good as others

Like Numb, HMTMKMKM, Heartland, and most of the songs from the 80s wuld get looked over

 

[POP-ROMANCER]

WHAT ABOUT ELEVATION!

Elevation sucks balls though.

 

[saltines17]

Even though these 17 songs are 10 minutes too long to fit on one disc, here are my picks anyway in no particular order:

1. Acrobat
2. City Of Blinding Lights
3. Numb (New Mix)
4. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
5. Wake Up Dead Man
6. Lemon
7. Mofo
8. The Unforgettable Fire
9. Zooropa
10. One
11. Bad
12. New Year's Day
13. The Fly
14. Please
15. Where The Streets Have No Name
16. Sunday Bloody Sunday
17. Love And Peace Or Else

 

[namkcuR]

17 songs out of two-and-a-half decades worth of material is near-impossible. I much prefer to do era-specific playlists.

 

[D'oh!]

1. Until the end of the world
2. Beautiful Day
3. Miracle Drug
4. One
5. Walk on(single version)
6. Sometimes.......
7. STreets.........
8. Bad
9. I still haven't ...........
10. City of blinding lights
11. With or without you
12. A sort of homecoming
13. One tree hill
14. Sunday Bloody Sunday
15. Out of control
16. The Fly
17. Stay(Faraway, so close!)
18. '40' - hidden song

runners up - Zooropa, New years day, AIWIY, STuck in a moment, Kite

If there was a rule to include atleast one song from ALL albums i would add Gloria and Last night on earth

 

[Pero]

Yep, Elevation sucks balls.
GONE-up with the sun, any bells ringing?

I agree, but I wanted to make it hard
But a live CD would be a good idea..
entitled Zoo Tv, POPmart or Elevation....
