ONE love, blood, life
Wholly agreed on the love (or at least like) for Red Light. It kicks ass, it's got trumpets and female backing vocals, two noted oddities after 1983. Or before it, for that matter.
I assume you're referring to the full mix and not the edit.
The mix is good, but I think most here would take the album cut.
More realistically...
Ground Beneath Her Feet
Beautiful Day
Stuck In A Moment
Elevation
Walk On
Kite
Vertigo
Sometimes
COBL
ABOY
OOTS
Boots
Magnificent
MOS(yes, MOS, I think the band loves it enough to put it here)
Crazy Tonight(Live 360 version)
Perhaps Electrical Storm, Hands(since it won a Golden Globe and got nominated for an Oscar), and WITS if they're up for including 'new' tracks from previous Best Ofs.

Beautiful Day and Stuck not being on a Best of 2000-whatever compilation because of a previous compilation from well over a decade ago would be the dumbest shit in the world.
(no Walk On, the subject's halo has fallen off)
I don't get this. I know she inspired the song, but it's not just about her. It's not like her name is in the lyrics. Those lyrics had a much broader meaning for a lot of people. I don't see why we have to write it off just because of what's happened with her.
I suppose I wasn't being super earnest when I wrote that. But it seems like the band themselves might have lost interest in it.
In any case, something like the version peformed for that TV special would be decent.
Wasn't Shadows written in 78? So depending on when in the year it was written, two of the band were only 16.What's crazy to think of with Boy is just how young they were.
God, it's hilarious how many posters it took in the discussion involving debut albums to bring up Velvet Underground & Nico. Regardless of your personal preferences, that is unquestionably the most important debut album ever made and it's not even close.

Brian Eno is bald, so what?
i love that song. i can't decide on what my u2 rushmore would be because i don't listen to them enough these days to pick four songs. i feel like it'd probably be something like epaa, zooropa, lemon, and your blue room. but damnit i don't know.I almost put Elvis Presley and America on my Rushmore but I feel like people might panic.
More important than Please Please Me? Unquestionably?
