I've read in a few posts in another music forum that U2 have been pretty much irrelevant in the 2000's, and that ATYCLB & HTDAAB were a bit disappointing. Regardless of what you feel of their work in the 00's, U2 has remained relevant IMO. Before the release of NLOTH, 5 of the Top 10 U2 tracks on Itunes were from their last 2 albums. "Beautiful Day" was #1. Just to compare, check out the Rolling Stones ranking on Itunes. I scanned the Stones Top 100 quickly, and I think the lastest song I saw by them was "Start Me Up"...which came out around the time of U2's second album. Anyway, I was guessing I could make a 15 song comp of U2000's material that can rank right up their with their best work. This is what I came up with. Feel free to make your own list....Screw it, I'll make it 17. That's probably enough to fill on a CD.
Beautiful Day
Magnificent
Vertigo
Window In The Skies
No Line On The Horizon
Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
All Because Of You
Elevation
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Electrical Storm
Kite
Miracle Drug
Breathe
Original Of The Species
Moment Of Surrender
Sometimes You Can't Make It On You're Own
Walk On
Not a bad comp IMO. I think most of these songs stand with the best in their catalog....I left several out too, like "When I Look At The World", "Love Peace Or Else", "Unknown Caller" & "If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight".
