The Definitive U2 Album

[jphelmet]

If you could pick any 11-12 songs to make one definitive U2 album, what would it be? Very hard to do, because there are so many great songs to choose from. I am thinking in terms of a complete album, good flow, critically well received- not just my favorite 12 songs.

1. Streets
2. Beautiful Day
3. One
4. Until The End of The World
5. Running To Stand Still
6. Bad
7. The Fly
8. Kite
9. WOWOY
10. Please
11. One Step Closer
12. All I Want Is You

 

[Cassis]

1. Even better than the real thing
2. The Fly
3. Out of control
4. Electric co
5. Gone
6. Last night on earth
7. City of blinding lights
8. Bad
9. Zooropa
10. A sort of homecoming
11. Please
12. With or without you
13. All I want is you

13

sorry

Insanity is good sometimes. I mean, I think that yahweh is the best track on Bomb, so I must be mentally unstable as well.

Lol! There's nothing remotely insane about having your own tastes

As for me, well, I'll have to think about this properly and return. I can tell you're all dying with the anticipation already.

Each to their own

And Chickadee i will be watching out for your definitive album, just because you gave it such a big buildup

It's all a matter of opinion. Currently, imo, it is the strongest track on the bomb.
