U2 Chillout Album

[kiwilad]

So, you're at work one day (lets pretend we all work at polygram) and your boss walks up to you carrying U2's entire catalogue and (dumping U2 catalogue on your already U2 covered desk) says, "excuse me <insert name here>, I have a job for you. U2 have decided to release a 'chillout' album of their most relaxing, unwinding, haunting and beautiful material. They want 13 songs plus 1 hidden track. I need you to pick the songs and an album title. Have it ready by tomorrow..."

what would you choose???

Tough choice, but here is my attempt. And if this thread's been done before, sorry - I'm still new!! Anyway, here goes...

1. Your Blue Room
2. Heartland

Bonus Track. All I Want is You

So there you go! I'd buy this album!! What do all you other U2 fans across the globe reckon?

 

[FallingStar]

Hmmmm, I would tell my boss that I needed a short meeting with U2 for making sure that they agree with me.


Then I would start making a list like:

1. -------- and stop at this point cos I need a drink and a better idea than just playing Velvet Dress 13 times....

 

[FallingStar]

Okay, coming back with drink in hand, going on working:

[hippy]

Moving to EYKIW.

 

[typhoon]

I would hand October back to him.

 

[SkeeK]

I made a CD of songs like this a long time ago. I'm very anal about making CD collections of songs. So therefore, it's perfect.

1. Bad (album version... really quite relaxing)
2. Walk To The Water
3. Miss Sarajevo
4. Stateless
5. Heartland
6. Stay (though it didn't exist at the time, the Craig armstrong version would go nice here)
7. Running To Stand Still
8. October
9. The First Time
10. If You Wear That Velvet Dress
11. Your Blue Room
12. Love is Blindness
13. Slow Dancing (acoustic version)
14. Never Let Me Go
15. Grace
16. Promenade
17. Wake Up Dead Man (not relaxing, just necessary for my blatantly nefarious purposes)
18. MLK

So I'm 5 tracks over.

Bite me.

It's perfect. so whatever. Actually we listened to it in the van on the way to the Hamilton Elevation concert and it fit the length of the ride perfectly. And at that time it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever heard.

 

[madonna's child]

Heh. I'm now listening to Rattle and Hum cause reading this thread gave me a craving for Heartland.

 

[stagman]

Jumpin Outta Your Skin

1. Bad
2. Red Hill Mining Town
3. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
4. Stay
5. Heartland

7. Love Comes Tumbling
8. The Playboy Mansion
9. If You Wear That Velvet Dress
10. Deep In The Heart
11. The First Time
12. Love Is Blindness
13. Exit

You could take my title as being opposite to the subject matter just like Pop was meant to be.
