*my head knows that place would be reserved for One, but my head also knows that my ears hate One. So I replace it with the song that introduced me to U2.

I'm actually happy U218 acknowledged Sweetest Thing. Sure, it didn't have the most magnificent chart run upon its release, nor does the band give it a slot on any of their tours (but for good reason... it's kind of a bore live), but a surprisingly large amount of people are familiar with the tune. Probably the 3rd/ 4th most recognizable U2 song of the 90's...

And if the only reason for not wanting S. Thing on U218 is because it was already on a greatest hits, well, so were a lot of the songs on the cd

Two bigger reasons: it piles up the oversized 00's representation on U218 and it does not qualify as one of their biggest hits.
