Let's pretend

[scatteroflight]

I know we've done similar things before, but maybe not quite like this. (Someone will be sure to correct me.)

Say you can go to a special U2 concert where they will play just one song off each studio album. What will the songs be? Let's also say that even if these are songs U2 has never played in reality, they'll be well rehearsed in all of them. Maybe you got to give them the list in advance

My picks:

Boy: Another Time, Another Place
October: Gloria
War: 40 (to end, of course

)
Unforgettable Fire: A Sort of Homecoming
Joshua Tree: Streets (yes, I'd love to hear One Tree Hill or Running, but I just couldn't pass up on hearing Streets again!)
Rattle: All I Want Is You
Achtung: So Cruel (a full band version, not the somewhat silly acoustic singalong that I think they did once)
Zooropa: Stay
Pop: Please
ATYCLB: When I Look at the World

If I added Passengers and MDH (which a lot of people seem to have done) I'd pick Your Blue Room and Stateless.
