Yeah i was only halfway serious with that, however, i suppose it
could happen.
For the heck of it, since this is all baseless speculation anyway, here is a made up "tracklisting"
First disc could basically be the typical best of "hits" or well-known songs including two new songs. The new radio single for this compilation would be "Boy Falls From the Sky" hence the previous twitter comments ("its all about spidey"). And if so warranted, to be followed by Mercy in the early spring. Both would sound great in US stadiums next summer...
Second Disc would basically be "Songs of Ascent" + a couple of remixes & a live MOS
DISC ONE
1. Elevation (tomb raider mix)
2. Boy Falls from the Sky *new song*
3. Vertigo
4. Magnificent (album version)
5. In a Little While
6. City of Blinding Lights
7. Get On Your Boots
8. Sometimes You Can't Make it on your own
9. Kite
10. Miracle Drug
11. Original of the Species
12. Walk On (single edit)
13. Moment of Surrender
14. Mercy *new song*
15. No Line On the Horizon
DISC TWO
1. Return of the Stingray Guitar
2. Glastonbury
3. NLOTH II
4. Every Breaking Wave
4. North Star
5. Soon
6. Winter (linear)
7. If I Could Live My Life Again
8. Lead Me in the Way I Should Go
9. Pilgrims Lack of Progress
10. Ill Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (Live 360 Remix)
11. Magnificent (Fred Falke Full Club Mix)
12. Moment of Surrender (Live from the Rose Bowl)
obviously, once again, just baseless speculation. All the more reason for U2 to actually give us a new album (or even an EP) this year, because its really hard to come up with material for this *potential* "best of" when there's only 3 albums' worth of material.
