U2 FAQ

Question:

Perhaps a little offshoot of the subject, but the best of 1980-1990 had 6 albums and a boatload of b-sides to choose from.  If they by pass this upcoming album they have 3 albums to choose from (4 if you count Passangers which was advertised as NOT A U2 CD, and many U2 fans can’t stand the Passengers CD).  However if they do the same thing with the best of B-Sides, that could be really interesting as the 90’s haveing given us remixes, covers and a score of original songs.  That truly would be Intertesting. Anyway, being a best of, it’s more then likly going to dervie from radio play hits so here is my list in no order. 1. One 2. Mysterious Ways 3. The Fly 4. Whos Gonna Ride yor Wild Horses 5. Lemon 6. Daddys Gunna Pay for your Crashed Car 7. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me 8. Dischoteque 9. Staring at the Sun 10. Please 11. Mofo 12. Miss Sarejavo 13. Elvis Ate America and the bonus hidden track Wake up Dead man or Acrobat or Dirty Day I can’t even think of 15 (note those aren’t exactly my favorite songs but based on a best of the 90’s scale, I’d have to say that might be pretty close)  What would make this great would have all those songs be remixes. -redcat

Lady with the spinning head is one of my favorite B-sides … from the single of  "One" . .. -BlueMeanE – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Here is a CD I made for myself… SNIP! Not Very Imaginative…  but at least I have it and can listen to it whenever I want without shuffling a bunch of cd’s.

Response:

It’s not too bad, I was thinking of getting a CDr and doing that myself. Which version of Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses have you got on it? Does anyone else think that the one on the canadian single (the one that also has Paint It Black and Fortunate Son) really kicks ass? I love the one on AB, but the sort of "unplugged" kind of version is pretty groovy. ~Jessie Fly Girl "You’ve got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking, scream without raising your voice…" -U2
