I'm surprised i haven't done this before...
Anyway, based on the studio versions only, i'd go with

Boy: An Cat Dubh - Into The Heart (best Edge transition ever)
October: Tomorrow
War: Drowning Man
Unforgettable Fire: A Sort Of Homecoming
The Joshua Tree: With Or WItout You
Rattle & Hum: All I Want Is You
Achtung Baby: Ultraviolet
Zooropa: Lemon
Pop: Discothèque
All That You Can't Leave Behind: Kite
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb: Miracle Drug
No Line On The Horizon: Breathe

But that was extremely difficult, would probably be already different tomorrow (for some albums)

Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:Album version of All I Want is You has never done it for me, ever. Best versions IMO have to be either PopMart versions, or the Buenos Aires (90% sure that was the location) one that closed the show on the Vertigo Tour. Some of the Lovetown ones are alright too.

Studio version just goes on a bit too long with a bit too much low-impact instrumental sections for me.

I like the Slane 2001 version - mainly for its terrific transition into Streets. Popmart (Mexico) is great with the "Never Tear Us Apart" finale...it would have been great in Sarajevo accept Bono's voice is gone in that veersion.
