For the radio-listener, who knows all the well known hits, but needs a bit more evidence to convince them how wonderfully diverse and exceptional the U2 catalogue is:

1. An Cat Dubh

assuming that it's for somebody who doesn't really know of u2 at all, including the big hits.

1- I Will Follow
2- Gloria
3- New Year's Day
4- Pride
5- Where the Streets have no Name
6- All I Want is You
7- Even Better Than The Real Thing
8- Zooropa
9- Miss Sarajevo
10- Gone
11- Beautiful Day
12- Vertigo
13- Magnificent
14- Every Breaking Wave

if I can pick a non-album song from each decade, it would be Love Comes Tumbling, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, Electrical Storm and The Crystal Ballroom.

[Bad Exit]

If I didn't knew anything about U2, these are the songs you should give me for me to fall in love with this band (using this thread criteria):

Boy: I Will Follow
Oct: Gloria
War: New Year's Day
TUF: The Unforgettable Fire
TJT: Bullet the Blue Sky
R&H: God
AB: The Fly
Z: Zooropa
Pop: Please
LB: Beautiful Day
Bomb: City of Blinding Lights
NLH: No Line on the Horizon
SOI: Cedarwood Road

One big problem is that the tracklist is weird... too many openers, not even one closer.
This is the best I could come up with right now:

1. Gloria
2. The Unforgettable Fire
3. Cedarwood Road
4. New Year's Day

5. Zooropa
6. The Fly
7. No Line on the Horizon
8. God (part II)

9. City of Blinding Lights
10. I Will Follow
11. Bullet the Blue Sky
12. Beautiful Day
13. Please
