1980-1990 is actually pretty good. but 1990-2000 is a mess, especially the b-sides disc, but the best of disc is also problematic, with new mixes and album tracks taking the place of actual hits/singles, so i've made my own best-of's. the b-sides would speak for themselves, so i'm not including them here. but they'd actually be b-sides and not a bunch of single remixes.

let me know what you'd put on yours.

01 Out Of Control (album version)
02 A Day Without Me
03 I Will Follow

08 Two Hearts Beat As One
09 Sunday Bloody Sunday
10 Pride (In The Name Of Love)
11 The Unforgettable Fire
12 Bad (best of edit)
13 With Or Without You
14 I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For

03 Until The End Of The World
04 One
05 Even Better Than The Real Thing (single mix)

and since they'll already have videos on the DVD that comes with the new album, I'm assuming:

09 Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
10 Crumbs From Your Table


with more to be added as the decade progresses.
