Best Remixes

[Utoo]

There are about a million remixes of U2 songs. It seems like every song has at least 2 different versions, in addition to the album and demo versions. What a pain in the ass this is for those rabid fans like me trying to get a hold of everything U2 has put out there! I've actually stopped trying to get all the remixes and really only focus on the good ones. In my search so far, I've only found a few that are really very good:

Wire (NME Dub Mix)
Even Better Than the Real Thing (Perfecto Mix)
Lady With the Spinning Head (Extended Dance Mix)
Vertigo (Temple Bar Mix)---gotta love the banjo!

Which mixes do you think rock?

My favorite "Lemon" remix is the Trance Mix. It's basically the Perfecto Mix without the goofy female vocal.

Can't Help Falling in Love - Mystery Train (8 minute version from promo 12")

Stay - Underdog Mix
