ONE love, blood, life
Generally speaking, one can't think of AB without also thinking of Zooropa, and vice versa. The two are eternally and inextricably linked by the ZooTV tour. My question is, and this is of course totally hypothetical, if, instead of releasing AB in 91, U2 had released a double album in, say, 93, consisting of all of the AB and Zooropa songs, with perhaps a different track ordering to accomodate the double album concept, would it be up with The White Album, The Wall, Quadrophenia, et al as one of the greatest double albums of all time? It could be something like this(you can picture it any way you want though). Just for clarification, the tracklisting I'm putting here has a loose storyline about a relationship breaking up, one party growing very bitter towards the other, the second party eventually wanting the first party back, and the first party contemplating it and in the end saying 'fuck you', with the last words of the whole thing being, 'to stay with you, I'd be a fool, sweetheart, you're so cruel'.
