and he said:
"I heard two U2 songs I'd never heard on XM today that I liked a lot. Have you heard of one called Salami or something like that? And the other one was kind of bluesy and sounded like BB King was on it."
So I told him where both songs come from and he asked me if I'd burn him a mix CD of stuff he really wouldn't know. He really has only listened to Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby (those are the only two U2 cds I own that I didn't buy, as they were handed down from him), ATYCLB and Hut Dab, so I'm working on a little something. Here's what I did so far.
1. Mofo
2. Gone
3. Bullet The Blue Sky (Live 1993) (He'll know this one but this version is just too good to pass up)
4. Lady With The Spinning Head (UV1 Version)
5. HMTMKMKM (Live From Mexico City)
6. Dirty Day
7. Salome (because he liked it so much)
8. Miss Sarajevo
9. Please
10. Stay
11. When Love Comes To Town (see #7)
12. Fast Cars
13. God Pt. 2
14. Your Blue Room
15. Mercy
16. 40 (Under A Blood Red Sky version)
Any suggestions? I tried to stay away from the bulk of the 80's material just because he has probably heard a good portion of it already. Any extra suggestions are appreciated though.
