Live or Die Magic Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 On Tuesday, March 2nd, U2 will release their 12th studio album No Line On the Horizon here in the United States. In honor of this forthcoming event, I got to thinking about what my personal favorite U2 mix would be. Not sure how many U2 fans we have on the boards but I figure most folks have enough knowledge of their music that they should be able to complete a mix list. But there are RULES! Oh yes, there are always rules! Here they are: You must create a 14 song mix, no more, no less. You must choose at least one song from each of U2 Quote

Secretly Space Jesus Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Boy - I will follow October - Fire War - New Year's Day The Unforgettable Fire - Bad The Joshua Tree - Running to Stand Still, Where the streets have no name Rattle and Hum - Desire, almost by default since I hate this record. Achtung Baby - Until the End of the World, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses Zooropa - Stay Pop - Staring at the Sun All that you can't leave behind - Walk On, Kite How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb - All Because of You Quote
Live or Die Magic Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Posted February 12, 2009 Great choices from DOM, Acres, and Kberto. I am especially interested to see the variety of choices from "Achtung Baby." That was a hard one for me. I went with "One" because it is so iconic. But I also really really like "The Fly." When that song came out I was all "***...this is U2." DOM, I agree with you on Rattle and Hum. U2 was at their self-indulgent best (or worst) on that record. "Joshua Tree" and "Unforgettable Fire" has a lot of variance as well. Quote

Still, the first singles are not always the best (re: "City of Blinding Light"). Quote
Kilgore Trout Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Not a fan of the new single either........ Boy - I will Follow October - Gloria War - Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years Day The Unforgettable Fire - Pride The Joshua Tree - With or without you Rattle and Hum - Angel of Harlem Achtung Baby - One, the Fly Zooropa - Stay (far away, so close) Pop - Staring at the sun All That You Can't Leave Behind - In a little while (My favourite U2 song) Stuck in a moment you cant get out of.
