If you had a friend that never had really heard U2 and you had ten song mix cd to win him over. what would your ten songs be?
i have done this before, and i always seem to win them over.
this is my list.
streets
the fly
new years day ( a live version)
pride
kite
until the end of the world
one
11 clock tick tock ( a live version)

2. I Will Follow
3. Vertigo
3. Beautiful Day
4. With Or Without You
5. Sunday Bloody Sunday (Live - Elevation or Vertigo Tour, less of the rebel song bit)
6. Pride
7. One
8. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
9. Acrobat (Have to throw that one in, it's a fabulous song!)
10. All I Want Is You
1. Beautiful Day
2. Until the End of the World
3. With or Without You
4. Mysterious Ways

I did this for a girl I liked once, not to win her over to get her to like U2 (because she was already a fan), but actually win her over.
I can't remember the exact songs that were on it but I do remember that I had the Chicago DVD version of ORIGINAL OF SPECIES on there because when Bono introduces it he dedicates it to a beautiful girl named Jordan. The girl I liked was also named Jordan. I also remember I capped the CD off with All I Want Is You and One (One being her favorite ever song).
i did the same thing for my girlfriend, who is now my wife, i made a kind of romantic mix cd for her. i must admite it was a good sex mix also.
i mad a cover for it and everything. i called it "slow dancing"
i dont remember the track list but it did have "slow dancing" on it and it started with
"if you wear that velvet dress". if you listen to the begining of that song it really sets a mood.
bono wispers the first lines.
Only 1 CD - studio tracks and one that's a little less mainstream
