[digitize]

I've thought of doing this before... but the best tracklisting for me is listening to the two albums in sequence.

 

[mikal]

see that's the problem with threads like this. i think the original thread poster should have thought more carefully before posting such crap.

 

[RedRocksU2]

well, it's better than starting a thread in pleba

[An Cat Gav]

Much as I love Zooropa, only 1 song would make it, Achtung Baby is 99% perfect, the only songs I would swap would be Stay for WGRYRH.

 

[phommel]

3. "One"
4. "Until the End of the World"
5. "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"
6. "So Cruel"
7. "The Fly"
8. "Mysterious Ways"
9. "Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World"
10. "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)"
11. "Acrobat"
12. "Love Is Blindness"

side 2:

1. "Zooropa"
2. "Babyface"
3. "Numb"
4. "Lemon"
5. "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"
6. "Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car"
7. "Some Days Are Better Than Others"
8. "The First Time"
9. "Dirty Day"
10. "The Wanderer"

 

[U2girl]

Drop Zoo station off AB. Switch Who's gonna ride your wild horses for Stay.

clever, but this thread is for people that like to make playlists. i also love both albums in full, but there's no crime in having fun and shuffling songs.

 

[medley]

For me the choice is not that hard to make as these are easily my favourite songs of these two albums:

1. Zoo Station
2. Even Better Than the Real Thing
3. One
4. Until the End of the World
5. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)

6. The Fly
7. Mysterious Ways
8. Numb
9. Lemon
10. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
11. Love Is Blindness

Zooropa is not far from making it though.

 

[nielsgov]

I'd only replace So Cruel with Stay and maybe add Lemon somewhere on AB.

 

[MatejU2]

Just for fun

1. Zoo Station
2. So Cruel
3. Acrobat
4. Love Is Blindness
5. Zooropa
6. Mysterious Ways
7. One
8. Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
9. The Fly
10. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
11. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
12. Until the End of the World

 

[Scorpionac]

I've never tried this, and I could probably just take Zooropa over the two, but here goes.

1. Zooropa
2. Mysterious Ways
3. Lady With the Spinning Head (Extended Mix)
4. Lemon
5. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
6. Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
7. The First Time
8. Zoo Station
9. Numb
10. The Wanderer

 

[popacrobat]

1. Zoo Station
2. Mysterious Ways
3. Lemon
4. Until the End of the World
5. Dirty Day
6. One
7. Ultraviolet
8. Stay
9. The Fly
10. Whos Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
11. Acrobat
12. Zooropa

something like that.

 

[ozeeko]

both albums are completely different worlds.

doesn't make much sense to me.

no disrespect or anything, of course.

if i could take a song off one album and put it to another, it would be Your Blue Room onto Pop. It could fit somewhere in there. I'd love it in place of IGWSHA.

And Slug i could see fitting on Zooropa.

Hey, I agree with you! Indeed there is no crime in it, but I just couldn't come up with a better order...

 

[65980]

It is interesting that the U2 albums seem to almost fit into 'twos', isn't it?

Boy / October
War/ Unforgettable Fire
Joshua Tree / Rattle & Hum
Achtung / Zooropa
Pop / ?
ATYCLB / HTDAAB
No Line... / 2010 LP?

Pop kind of stands out, though. It doesn't really seem to have an evil twin. It's a twinless twin, like Elvis. No wonder U2 hate it.

i was actually thinking of starting another thread linking Passengers/Pop, lol!

Lemon
Stay (Faraway So Close!)
So Cruel
Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car

[U2girl]

War and UF don't fit at all.

The U2 albums in trilogies are a better fit.
