Definitely War. Would love to hear Seconds, 2 Hearts and Like A Song especially. War is very underrated here.....it doesn't have a bad song on it to my ears.(Red Light is a little weaker than the others, but I don't think it's a clunker compared to say, Grace or Stand Up Comedy.)
AB and JT would obviously be great as well. No need to say more on AB- just look at the summer of 2011 for proof of how awesome this is. JT has some gems that haven't been touched in a very long time- In God's Country, Trip Through Your Wires and Exit. Also, who doesn't want them to try Red Hill Mining Town?
If they wanted to play any album straight through, great by me! Maybe ATYCLB could use a rest after 3 tours in a row of over play, but anything else? Go for it!

The thing is... War... Boy... October... those albums all did get played almost in their entirety back in the days. Gotta remember it becomes harder and harder to include more music off of one single album when you get more albums.

Pop. Just because I'm interested how they would rework the songs live after all the negativity they gave to this album.

Sadly, Bono wouldn't be able to sing the majority of it, and the same goes for most of their albums. The only one they could play straight through and have it sound good (and be more than U2 being a cover band) would be their current album, whatever it may be at the time.
Passengers is the only album they could really play live all the way through, because there isn't much singing, and what there is of it is quite restrained. It's musically very interesting too.
Weller is playing his next album straight through next spring (when it comes out), and U2 should do the same thing.

I'd like them to do all of them, starting from Boy onward. Two set shows..the first would play the album of the night, and the second set would be a variety of tracks from other albums.

Achtung.
Not sure why so many people are clamouring for TUF so bad. 4th of July and MLK are inconsequential, and I don't see Promenade and Elvis working that well. Maybe if you swapped those tracks for Love Comes Tumbling and a few others
Agree with you about Achtung.
With TUF you would need to throw in 3 Sunrises, Love Comes Tumbling, Boomerang 2 and Disappearing act etc, but that's no bad thing!
Actually, imagine a full performance of TJT with the b-sides thrown in...

Well if we're waiting on b-sides as well, it'd have to be Achtung Baby for me. Nothing tops those b-sides. They're basically an album of their own in my eyes.

If we're deciding based on b-sides, I would go with TUF. Love Comes Tumbling is one of the band's best songs in general, and The Three Sunrises would really take off live.

Sorry. I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to a relative newcomer called Hollow Island

Perhaps quote people then to make it more clear?
And I don't think Hollow Island knows any other way.
Relatively, we're all relative newcomers, relatively speaking, of course.

No, if they play one album in full I hope it would be UF.
