Help Me Make an Awesome U2 Guitar CDR

[zoology]

My mate at work loves guitar rock - Stones, White Stripes etc. I am trying to get him into U2 and I think a cool CDR of Edge's finest moments would do it. Any ideas on a tracklisting??

 

[U2girl]

I don't know...
from UF and onwards I'd say Bullet live, Exit live, Desire album, God part II album, The fly Elevation version, UTEOTW live, MW live, EBTTRT, Acrobat, Dirty day live, Gone Elevation, Hold me thrill me..., Last night on earth live, Discotheque, New York live, Beautiful day live, Elevation tomb raider mix, Vertigo, ABOY, Love and peace, Crumbs.

id have some live material on there such as bullet the blue sky from zoo tv tour. some stuff from boy such as a live version of the electric co. or out of control. id also but some of the classic guitar moments such as pride. you also need to have the fly in there as well..

i don't have much to add, you guys covered all the bases. i second:

out of control
11 o'clock tick tock
exit live (the rattle and hum version is amazing)
the fly live (zoo tv)
until the end of the world live
gone live
last night on earth live
crumbs

other recommendations:

rejoice
with a shout
one of the great live versions of bad (rattle and hum's version was great, and live aid was phenomenal, but 12 minutes might be overkill for the non-hardcore fan)

if you want to throw in an extra special treat, you might want to consider the alternate version of all because of you, maybe xanax and wine or native son. mercy...

Also just realized that no one here has mentioned that mother of a beast of a mother "Love and Peace or Else"

YES! To UnforgettableLemon you listen!!

I'd say add the live version of "Love is Blindness", Edge's guitar solo is incredible.

here is the stockholm version to give you a taste, its brilliant and the sound quality is soundboard:
