What's Your U2:80 (80mins of perfect U2)

[thelaj]

I mentioned in another thread that I have a playlist of U2 equivalent to one CD in length (80 minutes). It seems a less arbitrary measure than some and makes the choices more difficult. For example, I wanted Night & Day on my disc, but it is basically too long!
I also look around for mixes of the songs which might be slightly shorter, eg Streets (U218 Version).

Here is mine:

It was either that, or leave off another song to include Album Version.

Some very good picks there... Velvet Dress, DYFL, EBTTRT, Mofo etc. other than all the regular classics!

hahah i love it when posts and avatars go so well together!

as for the disc, that cover art is awful! not a bad choice of songs but I learnt when making U2 mix CDs ages ago that an 80 minute CD is just too damn long! Gets really bogged down and bloated no matter how good the tracks are. That said making an alternative best of 80-90 over 2 discs was great!

Like I said, it needs to be a MAX Of 80mins, there can be as few songs as you see fit. For me, more U2 = Better.
