I just think they ran out of room, and it wasn't one of their bigger hits.
Great song though

the best of 90-2000 was a bizzare collection
the inclusion of gone over please and last night on earth?
no wild horses, acrobat or the fly but the inclusion of until the end of the world?
no walk on but stuck in a moment included?
no lemon but the first time included instead?
a bizarre mix, not really a best of i think

War Child
Well I don't really think of Wild Horses as a single, I think it was overshadowed a bit by One, MW, The Fly etc etc from AB. It's a gorgeous song though, one of my favourites because it just is so lyrically beautiful.
I know it was released as a single...perhaps the final single from the album. It charted higher than half of the songs on the greatest hits disc, which means the band itself didn't consider it worthy of its weight on the charts.
Gone, Stuck in a Moment, Until the End of the World, Numb, Stay and The First Time were smaller hits compared to the numbers of "...Horses". It's a puzzle to me.

Gone and Until The End Of The World were included because they were the outstanding live songs of their tours.

The Fly
Personally, I would have preferred if the Best of 1990-00 would have only included songs from that decade, and excluded the ATYCLB album. Then in 6 years, release Best of 2000-09 for that decade. With this, we could have replaced BD and SIAM with Horses, Please, or Lemon.

I listened to the Best of CD yesterday and must admit I wondered about the inclusion of "First Time". I personally love it , but it surprises me what songs it took precedence over.
It must be a hard choice for them to make, so many great songs.
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses has a brilliant lyric.
danger and honesty,accidents and glass, blue seas and salt water kisses, theft ,revenge, things you're not supposed to, falling at your feet...simply powerfully said. I didn't know it had bugged and disappointed them in the making. It's a great song.

Thank GOD U2 put Gone and UTEOTW on the "best of", it gave the collection credibility.

Missing from 90-00's Best of were: The Fly (UK and JAPAN got this track *Dances complacent Jig!*). Love is Blindness. Lemon Wild Horses ALBUM VERSION!
I loved the inclusion of The First Time. Great idea to include that, great closer (though not as good as Love is Blindness). But I really didn't like where The Fly was put on the album. The First Time set a really nice mood to end the album on, but Fly was just really out of place.
Back to Wild Horses, I thought it was an outstanding track. But I really didn't like the Single Version. The Different Sound compared to the Album version was a bit iffy to me. Curious that they included the small guitar part at the beginning which had been part of the very first demos of the song. You can tell what this track is a demo of when you listen to some of it, [keeps the same rythm for example] but overall sounds a hell of a lot different. (I'm referring to what I've heard on the Video, I'm assuming that's the Single Mix. I've only heard the actual single on the radio in a supermarket once before).

That makes sense, and I remeber Edge saying that he thinks that song could have been one of their biggest hits if it had been "finished" correctly.
The versions on the single are my favorite and either ranks pretty high on my U2 song favs.
... couldn't drag me away
u2 was going for more than just a hits album, they were trying to make it seem like all the songs belonged together... to get a flow of sorts, i do believe. thus why they remixed the pop songs...
i could be wrong
