Yes - I forgot to add a note and it's too late now, but it was going to be "re-recorded two-solo version replicating the live performances of the first half of the eighties". It could be released as the promotional single!

[Aygo]

Hummm... It sounds cool to say 1980-1990 / 1990-2000, but it makes lots of confusion about the ranging.
I'd say a best of for the 80's, another for the 90's, and another for 00's.
So, here's my ones...



The Best of the 80's
1. Where the streets have no name
2. I will follow
3. Pride (in the name of love)
4. New Year's Day
5. I still haven't found what I'm looking for
6. With or without you
7. Bad
8. Sunday bloody Sunday
9. The unforgettable fire
10. Bullet the blue sky
11. Gloria
12. Desire
13. When love comes to town
14. Angel of Harlem
15. All I want is you
16. 11 o'clock tick tock
17. '40' - (from Red Rocks)

Comment: Bullet and '40' deserves to be there as they are massive in the concerts and everybody that knows more or less the band knows the song. 11 o'clock is here as a representant of the early years.


the Best of the 90's
1. Even better than the real thing
2. The fly
3. Last night on Earth (single version)
4. Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
5. Stay (faraway, so close!)
6. Lemon [edit]
7. Discotheque
8. Numb
9. Who's gonna ride your wild horses [Temple Bar mix]
10. Staring at the sun
11. Mysterious ways
12. One
13. Please [single version]
14. If God will send His angels [single version]
15. Sweetest thing [single mix]
16. Until the end of the world
17. Miss Sarajevo

No Comment, you understand the choices - based on charts and radio airplay. UTEOTW was not a single but it had plenty of success in 91/92 and radios there's a radio promo of this song.


The Best of the 00's
Well, this decade ain't over, but we've got already lots of hits to get in there, so...
1. All because of you [single mix] (this song will succed here in Europe)
2. City of blinding lights [radio edit]
3. Elevation [Tomb Raider mix]
4. Electrical storm
5. Vertigo
6. Beautiful day
7. Stuck in a moment you can't get out of
8. Sometimes you can't make it on your own
9. The ground beneath her feet
10. Walk on [single edit]

More to come...
