I am sure this has been done before, but there are some gems out there that can be fused into an album. These are songs that never made it as singles although some have been popular live. Most have not been played live for a long time and some not at all.

This would be my album, including running order:

1. Another time, another place
2. I threw a brick through a window
3. Drowning man
4. Wire
5. Bad
6. One tree hill
7. Love comes tumbling
8. Heartland
9. So Cruel
10. Zooropa
11. Do you feel loved
12. In a little while

Later, Paul.

1987. The Joshua Tree >> "Running to stand still"
1988. Rattle And Hum >> "God part II"

Just about perfect. Until the End of the World might as well have been a single. Rock radio played it like it was.
 
Youre very right about One Tree Hill, but ATAP was not a single but "A day without me" was a single as well as the non album single "Another Day" I believe, which may be confusing us.

Thanks,

Paul

I don't have a complete tracklist but mine would at least include

Bad
Running to Stand Still
Acrobat
The Ground Beneath Her Feet (?)
Zooropa
Like a Song
 
Songs that I think had good potential commercial value if they had have been released (as much as i love a song like 'Running To Stand Still' or 'Bad' i don't think it would have made a big impact on the singles charts)

Until The End of The World
Ultraviolet (light my way)
Lemon
Lady With The Spinning Head (shorter version)
Dirty Day
Do You Feel Loved?
Gone
In A Little While
The Electric Co
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
One Tree Hill

Lemon
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
One Tree Hill

These were singles. ;)
 
hoo boy... this is a toughie. My list would be

1. I Will Follow
2. Gloria
3. New Years Day
4. Pride
5. With or Without You
6. Desire
7. One
8. Stay
9. Staring At the Sun
10. Beautiful Day

U2 basically ruined their career by not releasing these as singles... they could have been the biggest and most successful from each album. They could've already played in stadiums by now I would think.
 
The Ground Beneath Her Feet and One Tree Hill weren't released as singles (unless someone knows different) and as far as I know Lemon was only released in the Far East and Australia (?).
