Do them a disc with (off the top of my head, I'd suggest a re-order)

Zooropa
Love and Peace
UTEOTW
Ultraviolet
Acrobat
So Cruel
Promenade
Bullet
Running To Stand Still
Like a Song
The Unforgettable Fire
God Part II
The First Time
Love is Blindness
Mofo

on it and challenge them

a) not to be impressed, and
b) to still say all the songs are the same

I've done it a few times and it's not failed me yet. I did a topic where we chose the songs, but I can't find it...

That would make one awesome alternative commpilation I have to say, although the problem is that one of the other predominant reasons they don't like U2 is because they think Bono's a prick (I don't agree but in a world where pro-active people get frowned upon, I can understand them), that Edge is a shit guitarist because he doesn't rip out 7 minute solos (and that his work is easy to replicate - HA!) and that it's not heavy enough or got the same kind of energy as a lot of the modern punk-metal rubbish that's around these days. Also, I've not got enough CD-Rs to do for all of them lol...

Agreed. Impossible to prosecute the charge of repetition from this list. Throw in Numb or Lemon.

To those people, I say enjoy your Fergie, Nickleback, and Kanye West and let me enjoy the real music.

Let me guess. They're into Linkin Park and Good Charlotte?

Is my disdain for Kanye West apparent enough? I don't know what U2 was thinking allowing him to open for them.

Originally posted by djrlewis[..]

In which case...

Live versions of
Love and Peace (that guitar solo?! Makes my ears bleed)
Bullet (suggest Boston DVD or the Stay single)
Mofo (MTV Video Music Awards)

It's heavy enough to sink through lead.

And don't tell them it's U2. They'll never know, love it and then when they ask who all those bands were on that kick-ass compilation you did are you can tell them it's just one......

Ha!! Just a tad...

Universal will have 'suggested' him.

We got Starsailor and The Killers

Originally posted by haytrain[..]

Too true. I would have loved to see the Killers. I was reading a review from the local newspaper in Portland when they came through at the end of the 2nd North American leg, and it said that the crowd didn't know what to make of Kanye West, so they just kind of stood there politely as he "rapped" and then waited for U2's set to start.
