  1. I don't think there sohould be a best of 2000-2010 compilation
    They only have two albums to take songs from (ATYCLB was in the last compilation after all)

    That's a very good point right there. (Except it's 18 years for me - Daddy's Gonna Pay, Miami, Grace or several others, M&W and others).

    This is stupid speculation, we've only had the actual album for a matter of hours, if at all.


  3. These tracks will not be on a new best of if management have any sense at all:-

    Even Better Than The Real Thing
    Mysterious Ways
    Beautiful Day
    Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix) (new song)
    One
    Miss Sarajevo
    Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
    Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
    Gone (new mix)
    Until The End Of The World
    The Hands That Built America (new song)
    Discothèque (new mix)
    Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
    Staring At The Sun (new mix)
    Numb (new mix)
    The First Time
    The Fly

    I guess Elevation and Walk On could be as they were released in 2001.....
  4. Elevation [Tomb Raider Mix]
    Walk On
    Kite
    Vertigo
    SYCMIOYO
    City Of Blinding Lights
    All Because Of You
    Original Of The Species
    The Saints Are Coming
    Window In The Skies
    Get On Your Boots
    Magnificent
    Crazy Tonight
    Moment Of Surrender
    Breathe
    Mercy

    With the exception of Mercy that's the most sensible list I've seen so far.
  6. I like Stu's list. I guess I'm the only one around here who likes Birdland.


  7. I hope not. BD, Stuck in a moment, Window in the skies, The Saints, UTEOTW all these songs that are apprearing on lists have been on other compilations.
  9. They've done two compilations this decade (and one in 1998 + remasters) - that's enough. I think that new EP is the one that they're gonna have instead.


  11. I just think that it could be a good way to evenrually release Mercy properly, i can't see it fitting on an album now, and it has a certain "legend" status about it, even if you replaced Mercy with a new song, and have Mercy [new recorded version] as a hidden track.

  12. Originally posted by BonoIsTheMessiah:I've been wondering what songs U2 might put on their next "Best Of" package, assuming that they can release it on Universal even though ATYCLB and HTDAAB were on Island. Since "Walk On" and "Elevation" were not on the 1990-2000 Best Of collection, I am assuming those will be included, along with tracks from HTDAAB and NLOTH. Since U2 don't define their "Best Of" in terms of only singles, it seems like there are many candidates from the latest album. Here is what I would include:

    Walk On (ATYCLB)
    Elevation (ATYCLB)
    Kite (ATYCLB)
    Vertigo (HTDAAB)
    Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own (HTDAAB)
    City of Blinding Lights (HTDAAB)
    Original of the Species (HTDAAB)
    Mercy (unreleased, could be used as a new single)
    Window In The Skies (maybe a live or alternate mix)
    Wave of Sorrow (Birdland) (JT 20th anniversary edition)
    Get On Your Boots (NLOTH)
    Magnificent (NLOTH)
    Breathe (NLOTH)
    Moment of Surrender (NLOTH)
    2-3 songs from next album if released in 2009 or 2010






    I agree this is a bit early, but I also don't see Wave of Sorrow on it, or Window in the Skies since it was a one off for U218, and they didn't include the Sweetest Thing in the 90-00 compilation...doubtful about Mercy too but anything is possible. but really too early to judge anything properly. I'm looking forward to it though
