Posted October 8, 200618 yr Well it's going to only have 18 songs including 2 new tracks so guess the 16 classics which will be on it ^_^ I think it will look something like this ^_^ I think they will miss out alot of classics. It's pretty stupid to only have 1 disc when they have far to many classics to only fit on 1 dis -_- 1. Pride (In the name of love) 2. New Years Day 3. With or without you 4. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For 5. Sunday Bloody Sunday 6. Where The Streets Have No Name 7. Desire 8. Angel Of Harlem 9. All I Want Is You 10. Even Better Than The Real Thing 11. Mysterious Ways 12. One 13. Beautiful Day 14. Discothèque 15. Vertigo 16. Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own
October 8, 200618 yr A great idea: I predict the 16 classic tracks will be (in chronological order): 1. New Years Day 2. Pride (In the name of love) 3. With or without you 4. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For 5. Where The Streets Have No Name 6. Desire 7. Angel Of Harlem 8. The Fly 9. Mysterious Ways 10. One 11. Even Better Than The Real Thing 12. Discothèque 13. Beautiful Day 14. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of 15. Vertigo 16. Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own

Window On The Sky Seems far to many recent singles on there to me and not enough classics although I love the recent stuff, it is meant to be a definitive collection and songs like I will Follow etc, and #1 singles like the Fly and Discotheque should be on it :wacko: I mean them songs prove how diverce and brilliant U2 are so they should be on it :angry: Oh and where on earth is Pride (in the name of love) :o :o That is more famous than the majority of the songs :wacko: I am hoping this is'nt official ^_^
October 31, 200618 yr they might well have alot of new tracks on it as most of the othes have been on the 2 previous greatest hits

January 23, 200718 yr http://media.www.ndsmcobserver.com/media/s...gepublisher.com Latest U2 collection includes hits and misses Brian Doxtader Issue date: 1/23/07 Section: Scene U2 already has a pair of greatest hits albums, "Best of 1980 - 1990" and "Best of 1990 - 2000," so "U2:18" might seem like a cheap cash-in on previously released material. Unfortunately, it is. The band doesn't really need another compilation, and "U2:18" doesn't provide anything new or revelatory about the most popular band in the world. U2, led by singer Bono and guitarist The Edge, started out as an above-average post-punk outfit before finding its footing as a socially-conscious band with a penchant for sweeping anthems. Driven by the rhythm section of Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton (the two members of the band that actually have names), U2 married eclectic experimentalism with simple rock beats, a combination that proved to be both artistically and commercially successful. On 1991's "Achtung Baby," it reinvented itself as an electronic/dance band. U2 continued along this path for the decade until re-reinventing itself as a neo-classicist pop band, which was evident on its most recent two albums, 2000's "All That You Can't Leave Behind" and 2004's "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb." Sadly, despite this history, there's a lot wrong with "U2:18." It isn't arranged chronologically, so it's nearly impossible to get a feel for the band's considerable artistic growth. This problem is compounded by the complete absence of several key U2 albums, including 1981's "Boy" (the band's debut), 1982's "October," and 1993's "Zooropa." The music that is included is generally great, though it relies a bit too heavily on U2's later renaissance. Songs like "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and "New Year's Day" have a timeless, anthem-type quality to them, while love songs like "One" and "With or Without You" hint at the band's depth. The best song on the compilation (still one of the defining songs of the 1980s) is U2's tribute to Martin Luther King Jr., the fiery "Pride (In the Name of the Love)," which features fantastic guitar work by The Edge. The two new songs on the album are respectable, but not nearly as good as the rest of the collection's material. A cover of The Skids' "The Saints are Coming" features Green Day, while "Window in the Skies" is a U2-by-numbers anthem that showcases a fine vocal performance by Bono despite an excess of strings. Still, for a collection that purports to be a collection of singles, it's disappointing just how many of the band's biggest singles have been forgotten - "I Will Follow," "Gloria," "Bad," "Stay (Faraway So Close!)" and "Even Better Than the Real Thing" among them. "U2:18" is also disappointing because it omits unreleased album tracks, so the breadth and depth of U2 is lost in the commerciality of the singles. It also fails to include anything from any of U2's side projects, which means that "Miss Sarajevo" (featuring Luciano Pavarotti), one of its best songs from the 1990s, is also missing. In the end, it's hard to see the point of a compilation like "U2:18." Faithful fans will most likely own most of the album's material, and wouldn't feel compelled to buy the disc simply for a few new songs. Those unfamiliar with U2 would be better off buying one of its previously released "Best Of" collections, or better yet, picking up 1987's "The Joshua Tree" and 1991's "Achtung Baby." There's no arguing with the greatness of the music included on the disc. However, it's hard not to wish for more of it.
