So here's the rules. Create a 12 track U2 album based on their discography. Each song you select has to be the same track number as it is on it's respective album.
Example:
11) Mothers of the Disappeared.
If you select MOTD, it would also have to be the 11th track on your album since it's the 11th song on The Joshua Tree.
You also get one wild card. This song can be any U2 song you choose and can be in any spot that you choose.
Example:
Say you want to slide in "Love Comes Tumbling" as your wild card at the #6 spot. That takes away all of the track 6's. Indicate wild card by putting in parenthesis (wild card). Wild Card is optional.

01) Zooropa
02) Even Better Than The Real Thing
03) New Year's Day
04) Until The End of The World
05) Running To Stand Still
06) Tomorrow
07) Bad
08) Streets (Wild Card)
09) One Tree Hill
10) Exit
11) Please
12) Love is Blindness


This was tougher than I thought. So many great openers, 5's, and 10's.

01) Gloria
02) Even Better Than the Real Thing
03) One
04) Until the End of the World
05) Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
06) All I Want is You (Wild Card)
07) In God's Country
08) Mysterious Ways
09) Pride (live RH)
10) This is Where You Can Reach Me Now
11) The Troubles
12) Love is Blindness

That is tricky. I started with my ultimate favorites. Pride didn't have a spot until I checked RH. 3 is a strong spot, but I can't deny how powerful One is even though we are sick of it on tour. SOI finished strong for me.
 
Difficult. This one isn't my ideal U2 album, but I really like it.

01 - A Sort of Homecoming
02 - Do You Feel Loved
03 - California (There is No End to Love)
04 - Until the End of the World
05 - Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
06 - Where the Streets Have No Name (wild card)
07 - Two Hearts Beat as One
08 - Mysterious Ways
09 - When I Look at the World
10 - Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
11 - Acrobat
12 - The Ground Beneath Her Feet

TGBHF is track 12 in some editions of ATYCLB. :madspit:

Tricky, hard to decide between One & WOWY, while as a collection it is disjointed. But I've picked my favourite tracks available.

Pretty darn decent album for me. It contains nearly all my favourites (missing Electrical Storm and NLOTH2, but I don't want to drop songs off to put them in as a wildcard as Streets really needs to be there too).
 
Blank tracks eh...? Well I'll just go ahead and insert...

3. One
4. Until the End of the World
5. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
