Make the Cut.

[Tarvark]

I would like to see some U2 play lists. Some unique comtilplations of U2 music. I would like to listen to that which you find pleasing and good and we can all talk about it.

My rules:

U2 Music!

No More the 20 Songs!

Please try and include at least 3 or more albums.

Please write up a premise or why it works or what it is.

A title please.

While you can use live versions do not make the entire cd live and please use some of the more common concerts - (Hasta, Slane, ZooTv Sydney, Lovetown)

Dont make it a greatest hit. Put thought in to flow, selection, and theme. If it has to be cut, cut it.

THis should be alot of fun!

Go for it

The Heart of Darkness
-----------------------------

Title comes from an 80s comment that Bono made regarding a sequence of songs at their concerts that had a particular theme/feel. I have expanded on (my interpretation of) that theme

Zooropa
City of Blinding Lights
Twilight
Another Time, Another Place
Wire
Indian Summer Sky
Kite
Gone
Rejoice
Exit/Gloria (live-Rattle & Hum)
Like a Song...
Drowning Man
Bullet the Blue Sky (live-ZooTV)
Running to Stand Still (live-ZooTV)
Dirty Day
God Part II
New York
Love and Peace or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday (live-Rattle & Hum)
Where the Streets Have No Name
Please (single version)
Wake Up Dead Man


sorry but that's 22 songs. Maybe remove any 2 of: New York, Rejoice, CoBL, Kite.

The 20 was more of a listening guidline. I find twenty is the number I can do in a sitting...

LOOKS GREAT!

I will give it a listen now and report back.

Obsession (Calvin Klein, lol )
-------------------------------------------
After meeting a mysterious woman at a carnival in the city, a man's infatuation with her leads him to pain and sadness within. She is telling him to do these things and he does them because he is her love-slave, and when things start to break the down, the man contemplates the value of his life. After almost prematurely ending it, he comes to terms with himself and his demons and finds redemption

6. A Man and A Woman
7. Love You Like Mad

[thrillme]

"One"

1. I Will Follow
2. Gloria
3. Sunday Bloody Sunday
4. A sort of Homecoming
5. Streets
6.Van Diemen's Land (I had to make a slight exception as "Helter Skelter" is not a U2 song, though Van Diemen's Land is the first U2 song off "Rattle and Hum")
7. Zoo Station
8. Zooropa
9. Discotheque
10. Beautiful Day
11. Vertigo

No method to the madness really, just the first song off every studio album.

I haven't done any more except an all live one.
