Product Description
Amazon.ca
One need hear only the first notes of this collection--the Edge's ringing guitar notes ushering in "Pride (In the Name of Love)"-to be taken back to 1984: Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher rule the Western world, the L.A. Olympics is the top sports story, and Ms. Pac-Man reigns at arcades. In rock & roll, there's U2 growing in stature with each new title. Even doubters of the Irish lads have to concede that together they formed the one '80s band with the skill and sense of scale to take over the airwaves and concert stages in a decade of diminished expectations. This 15-song '80s best-of assortment (stick around for the hidden track) spans the decade, reaching back to 1980's "I Will Follow," when Bono and company were peach-fuzzy and earnest as choirboys, and tracking their path through their most glaring misstep, 1988's overblown Rattle and Hum. --Steven Stolder

I ordered both Best of U2's Cds for our collection. We listen to them in the car and at home. Looking forward to mixing them on my Ipod.

i have been a fan of u2 since i first saw the video for pride way back in 1985 or whatever it was. since then i have made sure to get every major release that they ever put out and i have loved every one of them. this is mearly an ok collection. it is seriously missing some very important songs. unlike most greatest hits collections that are missing 3-4 songs, this one is missing about half of what should have been on here. it is so bad that i made a 3rd disc of all the missing songs. they should have made it a 2 disc set. you're better off making your own collection.
Format:Audio CD
This album has two of my favourite U2 songs on it...."With or Without You"
AND "And I still haven't found what I'm looking for"

Ok, I'm not a rock fan and I definitely don't like that goth, misogynist stuff that rock is ruined with. Read more

Good, but...
How did 'Sort of Homecoming' and 'Two Hearts Beat As One' (among others) get left off of this? Disappointing...

Purposeless compilation of played-out FM radio fodder
The beginning drum cracks of "Sunday Bloody Sunday"... the sight of Bono walking down Las Vegas' Main Street with that ridiculous hat... the white flag at Red Rocks... Read more

Great Introduction...plus October IS included
I agree with most of the reviews below. This is U2 Lite. A lot of great songs on All That You Can't Leave Behind isn't on this disc. Read more

U2, a whole decade of albums in one cd!
I like the idea of putting most of the good songs in about a decade and put them in one greatest hits album. But i would recommend someone to get "Joshua Tree" first. Read more

Warning : The Best Songs have been Edited!!!
The best songs are edited, presumably so that you'll go out and by the original CD's. They sound like something the publishers would put on Kazaa to discourage pirating. Read more
