I'd like to know what you all think about this, I won't whine if you don't like it:wink:

2 disc format on 80 min cds. I used a personal remix of Discotheque I made that shortened it enough and made it rockier and less dance for this set. Enjoy :)

Disc 1
-------
Where the Streets Have No Name
I Will Follow
Desire
Beautiful Day
The Fly
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Even Better Than the Real Thing
New Year's Day [Single Edit]
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (Temple Bar Video Version)
Electrical Storm [William Orbit Mix]
Miracle Drug
Angel of Harlem
Stuck in a Moment...(Acoustic) *fades beautifully into...*
Sometimes You Can't Make it...
October
If God Will Send His Angels [Single Version]
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
With or Without You
Walk On [Single Version]

Disc 2
-------
City of Blinding Lights
Elevation (Influx Mix)
Lemon [Single Edit]
Discotheque (My remix, 3:48)
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Stories for Boys
God Part II
Gone
Pride (In the Name of Love)
Until the End of the World
The Unforgettable Fire
Please
A Sort of Homecoming (Live from 'Wide Awake in America')
Tomorrow
I Still Haven't Found...
UltraViolet (Light My Way)
All I Want is You [Single Edit]
One

so what would you have added or taken out?
 
Take Out:
God Part II
Electrical Storm
Stories For Boys
Tomorrow
Miracle Drug

Add:
Staring At The Sun
Bad
Mysterious Ways
Bullet The Blue Sky
Running To Stand Still

Replace Mix:

Walk On(Single Version) with the album version. The hallelujahs are NOT even CLOSE to enough to make up for the omission of the 'home' verse, the best part of the song.

All I Want Is You(Edit) for the album version, can' t loose the string fadeout.
 
Disc 1 is pretty spectacular, I must say, so let's go to Disc 2...

Get rid of Stories for Boys, God Part II, and Ultraviolet. Replace them with Out of Control, Vertigo, and Staring at the Sun.

You're also gonna need to fit in Mysterious Ways, Bad, and Bullet the Blue Sky (3 essentials in a U2 collection).

If you can somehow manage this, then this will be, undoubtedly, the ultimate U2 collection :dance:

I'd be interested in hearing this remix.... If you feel generous, you could send it to ostentatioustourist @ hotmail . com
 
I think, off the top of my head, this is my current Best Of CD:

1. Hawkmoon 269 (no negotiation about this as song numero uno)
2. The Fly
3. Electrical Storm
4. A Sort Of Homecoming
5. Running To Stand Still
6. City Of Blinding Lights
7. God Pt II
8. One Tree Hill
9. Angel Of Harlem
10. Bad
11. Where The Streets Have No Name
12. New Year's Day
13. One
14. With Or Without You
15. Peace On Earth & Walk On (Tribute To Heros v.)

mainly because I don't have the Hallelujah mix of Walk On
