Originally posted by Bloodraven:I present you Ripping The Stitches, one of my favorite U2 albums.
Released sometime between 2004 and 2014, this album contains 5 singles, 3 songs that were considered the best track of their respective albums (had they been released in them, that's it), and 3 pretty well respected tracks to complete it.
The flow of the album is amazing. No song is out of place.
If you're not a big fan of these songs, you may find it slow or even boring, but otherwise, this could become one of the albums of U2 that you enjoy the most.

For making that album did you go specifically for songs not released in albums or was that just a coincidence?

I combined all the unreleased/bsides/rarities/etc songs in a set of different albums (it was like 12/13 albums besides the official ones).
I tried to make them in a way they had some consistency.
But as time has gone by, I've realised that I didn't include some songs, or that I would do things differently now, so I'm in the middle of reworking them.
Except this one. Ripping the Stitches is great as is.
And maybe The Washing Rain (mid-80's), but I'm still not sure about that one.
Originally posted by Bloodraven:In the meantime, since you guys are already showing your Rattle And Hums, here's mine.
Like I said, I don't like to include bsides/etcetera into official albums, but RaH has a loophole: Silver And Gold.
It is a bside, but since it's actually in the album, I decided that it was fair game.
(Also, and maybe more important, I listened first RAH than the bsides, so for me -and I guess for lots of fans- Silver and Gold actually BELONGS to Rattle and Hum).
So, here it is, my Rattle And Hum:

*Van Diemen's Land is a mix I made but now I don't remember the original sources... I'm pretty sure I'm using the movie version and the album version, but I think I downloaded some other version as well and so I made a frankenstein that has 3 and a half minutes of music and NO crowd noise from Helter Skelter.
*Silver And Gold is the b-side, not the album live version.
