Originally posted by thalloween:I’ve relistened to those two albums in the last week, and I think that those two are the most philosophical, linear and minimal like U2 albums. But especially in NLOTH that concept of essentiality and soft rock gets lost in songs like GOYB and SUC. While SOI is an amazing album overall, but considering that many of the SOI songs were born in the NLOTH era I thought that by combing those two the perfect U2 album of the 10’s would come out. This below is the tracklist that I’ve thought, imagine it with some sort of philosophical title (I couldn’t think of it haha) with some simple linear white based album cover.
1. The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone) - SOI
2. Every Breaking Wave - SOI
3. Moment Of Surrender - NLOTH
4. Unknown Caller - NLOTH
5. Iris - SOI
6. Volcano - SOI
7. Magnificent - NLOTH
8. Cedarwood Road - SOI
9. Raised By Wolves - SOI
10. I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight - NLOTH
11. Sleep Like A Baby Tonight - SOI
12. Breathe - NLOTH
13. The Troubles - SOI
Let me know if I’m the only one that thought of this and please share your tracklists

Interesting idea...though for me, the better course of action would have been to release SOI and SOE as one double album made up of the best tracks from each. I think the only song from SOI that should have been on NLOTH is Every Breaking Wave (perhaps in its original, unfinished 360 Tour version...).
