Originally posted by LostSailor:14 Months after SOE and 4.5 years after SOI a 15 song merge makes for one great SONGS album (albeit a long one). These aren't necessarily all of the best songs off both albums (although I think they are very close) but they fit well together:
1. The Miracle (of Joey Ramone)
2. The Crystal Ballroom
3. Song for Someone
4. Cedarwood Road
5. Raised By Wolves
6. Sleep Like A Baby Tonight
7. Invisible
8. California (There is No End To Love)
9. Every Breaking Wave
10. Red Flag Day
11. Summer of Love
12. American Soul
13. Landlady
14. The Blackout
15. The Little Things That Give You Away
For me, this track list flows and captures U2's Innocence into Experience with Invisible, California, and EBW forming a kind of transition after the darkness of RBW and SLABT which is set up by Cedarwood Road. Also a shift from personal views to global ones beginning with RFD. Little Things is a great closer. After the optimism of The Miracle, 14 songs later experience has taught that no matter what, "sometimes, the end isn't coming, the end is here, sometimes." I am looking forward to some folks out there giving this a listen! Thanks!
