I know this has been done several times before, but not for a while.
Pretty much everyone agrees that the Best Of 1990-2000, was a missed opportunity for U2. It is pretty obvious that that album does not acurately represent the band during that decade.
I have come up with a tracklist that is accurate and represents that decade as it should have been represented. These are all realistic (no live versions or other stuff that would not qualify) tracks. What I am most proud of is the flow of the collection I have assembled. It doesn't load all the biggest hits at the beginning and it doesn't have a huge lull in the middle (like the real disc). This mix stays strong right up until the very end. I have kept some of the thing I do like about the real one, i.e, EBTTRT as opener and First Time as closer. I have included most of the singles that are mysteriously left off of the real disc and of course, excluded the ATYCLB songs. I myself am not opposed to the "New Mix" versions of songs, as long as those songs improve on the originals. Of course peoples ideas of improvements will vary, so feel free to exchange "New" and "Old" mixes of songs as you see fit.
So without further adu, here is the mix I have deemed the best I have ever seen (and heard). Please listen to this order and notice how well it flows and represents U2s most experimental decade.
