  1. Here's an idea that's probably been done before but hopefully not too recently. Create 2 albums from U2 songs, one custom album from the 80's (Boy to Joshua Tree), one from post-80's (AB to HTDAAB). But what you do is choose the song from it's numerical position on each of the albums
    i.e.
    For the first song on your album you pick your favourite first song from the albums of that era
    e.g.
    For the first song on the post-80's album you have to pick your favourite first song from amongst a choice of Zoo Station, Zooropa, Disoctheque, Beautiful Day & Vertigo (given as it's a studio album I suppose it would be no harm to stick in the Passengers album so you can pick United Colours as well, although I don't expect many people to follow this up)
    Likewise it continues for the the second song etc etc

    Might be an interesting way of determining what your subconcious' favourite album is as well or might just be a way to pass a few extra minutes before the weekend kicks off.

    Man...you got it wrong...you're supposed to select the first track from the first track of those albums, and so on. You can't have Gloria as 2nd (as it is the 1st track of October) or Out Of Control as 3rd (as it is the 5th track of Boy)...etc.
