Missing Albums
Great choices, some obvious inclusions but some surprises though. Amazed October and Songs Of Experience have been totally overlooked. I thought Get Out Of Your Own Way semi acoustic on tour was brilliant!!!

Pleasing….
Can’t wait to get my copy of the new album! I think it’s a great set of songs And pleasing everyone is not possible with all the great songs they‘be written!

SO CRUEL!!
One of the most beautifully written, and heavy in feeling songs that is not so popular like other songs, SO CRUEL!
bcashman821

Wish they would have included
Unforgettable Fire, Exit, Zoo Station, Wake Up Dead Man or Kite

Great choices
It will be exciting to hear how U2 have reworked and developed those great songs further. I´m particularly interested in new versions of pieces from the band´s early days, so I can´t wait to listen to "11 O´Clock Tick Tock". I miss "Gone", which belongs to the most haunting songs on the "Pop" album.

Songs of Surrender Feedback
I’m most looking forward to hearing “Bad”. My all time favorite song. Disappointed that “Mothers Of The Disappeared” didn’t make the list. Would have been a great song to include. I’m curious if it was considered?

Would have loved to see this selected by Bono....

Every breaking wave
It’s a beautiful song. My brother was a big U2 fan but has passed on. The first time I heard this song I thought of him.
slyko
Ultraviolet and Lady With A Spinning Hea
are missing unfortunately!
With_You
Surrender
Surrender from the War album is missing alright!
TommyC2022
A great selection!
I love that the 40 are not a greatest hits for the masses. Quite a few of these songs will only be known to die hard fans. The 2 I would have liked to see added are Kite and Running to Stand Still. Really looking forward to hearing the rest!

Song I can’t wait to hear
The Little Things That Give You Away (intrigued as this is still only a new song, and love the video especially). Hard to see how it can be improved upon already?

Red Hill Mining Town
Can't wait to hear all of them... but especially THIS ONE, my favorite of all time... "I'm still waitin'..."
adamfress
2023!!!!!
the release of an album or the announcement of future concerts is always an intense moment in the life of a fan. In March 1987 I heard this sound... louder than the others. This emotion, these shivers. Then 36 years of u2....to the rhythm of happiness, joys, sorrows and hopes and despairs. I still miss a holy grail... the face to face. This new remixes song are....waoh....

Check out Bono's audiobook for some prev
I've been fortunate enough to be listening to the audiobook before this album was even announced. I immediately noticed the different versions of the songs and have been blown away with how they sound. As a result, I'm particularly interested in hearing the new versions of Until the End of the World and Vertigo (and City of Blinding Lights). All three sound terrific on the audiobook, but they were only snippets so though I have it all, I want more. There are a number of songs I could wish they would add to this. I feel like Magnificent is underappreciated and would do well with a reinterpretation. For that reason, I'm excited by the new version of If God Will Send His Angels from Pop, an album I never really connected with. By the way, Bono plays a snippet from Songs of Ascendence on the audiobook too. It's very brief but very cool.

Underrated and under played!

È difficile scegliere, personalmente avrei incluso ACROBAT, TOMORROW ma soprattutto alcuni pezzi di POP che reputo grandiosi: MOFO, PLEASE, WAKE UP DEAD MAN.

It’s in the title
I can’t wait to hear Red Hill Mining Town. I loved the re-imagined version played during the JT tours, so I’m hopeful that soulful vibe made it to the SOS version. The song I was hoping to see is my all time favorite U2 song. Moment of Surrender, come on guys the album and song share two of their three words ;)! The original version already has so much soul in it but my goodness I think there’s even more in there that could have a person… well… folded to their knees.

Please
Curious about the older songs such as 11 o’clock tick tock What is definitely missing for me is “please” !
