I love you.

would you mind if I shrunk that down and made it my sig, possibly?

 

[U2Man]

What font is that, typhoon?

 

[Zoots]

Atomic Bono and typhoon!

 

[VertigoGal]

Damn it should be Dammit though.

I will have to think about this one...my fav 11-12 U2 songs wouldn't necessarily make a good album together if you know what I mean.

Then it cannot be the cream of the crop. Just 12 songs that go well together from beginning to end



1. Where The Streets Have No Name
2. Even Better Than The Real Thing
3. New Years Day
4. One
5. With Or Without You
6. Gone
7. Miami
8. One Tree Hill
9. Exit
10.Stay (faraway, so close!)
11.Bad
12.MLK

... so it can loop back to the beginning and still sound natural.

 

[VertigoGal]

that's good...I like Streets into EBTTRT

I don't like Miami on there though, it's not that great of a song. Playboy Mansion is much better.

 

[Zoots]

I just like the Gone Miami transition a lot! Also, I think it covers one extreme with Miami.

Which version would you use? Hallelujiah?

 

[VertigoGal]

Probably the album version...I almost always listen to live versions and I love the "hallelujahs" but to end an album, I just love the "all that you" lines and how they fade out and stuff.

 

[Zoots]

Which version would you use? Hallelujiah?

I was gonna ask the same question.
