.: Tracklist :.
The Best of 1990–2000 is the second greatest hits compilation by Irish rock band U2, released in November 2002. It went on to become the 12th best selling album in the world that year. Among the 17 tracks are four remixed or re-recorded tracks and two entirely new songs. In December of the same year, a companion DVD (featuring music videos and live footage) was released.
A limited edition version containing a special B-sides disc and a bonus DVD was released on the same date as the single-disc version. At the time of release, the official word was that the two-disc album would be available the first week the album went on sale, then pulled from the stores. As with The Best of 1980–1990, this threat did not materialize.
It includes two new songs. "Electrical Storm" was released as a single. "The Hands That Built America" appeared on the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York film (with a different, more traditional arrangement than the one here). For some reason, despite the title of the album, these two tracks fall outside the dates specified ("'Electrical Storm" did not exist in any form until 2002).
It is also the first full U2 release to include "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me", a 1995 single originally contributed to the Batman Forever soundtrack, and "Miss Sarajevo", another 1995 single originally released on Original Soundtracks No. 1 and credited to "Passengers", a pseudonym used for the side project by U2, Brian Eno, and various guests.
The DVD edition is remarkably extensive and often includes multiple videos of each song, director's commentary, several songs completely unavailable on the CD editions, and three short documentary pieces.
Tracks:
1. "The Fly" (our first glimpse of U2 chopping down 'The Joshua Tree' and a preview to the imagry of the ZooTV tour to follow)
2. "Mysterious Ways" (to match The Edge's liquid guitar sounds, the entire video is appropriately shot with a shimmering lens)
3. "One" (two versions for a song with multiple interpretations)
4. "Even Better Than the Real Thing" (successfully capturing the imagry in the song)
5. "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" [Temple Bar Edit] (mostly a compilation of some live video footage combined with some studio shots of Bono singing)
6. "Until the End of the World" (again, more of a compilation of live video footage from the ZooTV Tour)
7. "Numb" (multiple versions - one used as video on the ZooTV tour and the other more infamous version with The Edge being assaulted/adorned, the latter of which is probably the band's best video)
8. "Lemon" (including the introduction of Bono's character "MacPhisto")
9. "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" (directed by Wim Venders, this one has excellent cinematography and follows along the story-line of the movie for which the song was penned)
10. "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" (although this wholly-animated video could have been better without all the gratuitous tie-ins to the 'Batman Forever', it is entertaining nonetheless)
11. "Miss Sarajevo" (a beautiful song with a somewhat unmemorable video)
12. "Discotheque" (the source of much ire surrounding the 'Pop' (1997) record, it is worth it to see the band having fun)
13. "Staring at the Sun" (nothing particularly memorable in this video, as U2 don the Miami-look)
14. "Last Night On Earth" (although deliberately conceptual, getting the band to actually act is always a questionable proposition)
15. "Please" (an underrated song and an underrated video, although the latter does not quite catch the political bent to the lyrics)
16. "If God Would Send His Angels" (on this one, the conceptualism works as the top half of the screen displays Bono singing on a bus seat while the bottom half displays the person sitting (or not sitting) across from him)
17. "Gone" [Live] (this is a live video taken from the 'PopMart Live in Mexico City' VHS, which IS better than the studio version included on the 'Pop' record)
18. "Mofo" (using a remix of the song, this one is simply cuts of live video footage)
19. "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" (good video for a movie promo, complete with Salmon Rushdie, who wrote the lyrics)
20. "Beautiful Day" (if you haven't seen this one, then you've been living under a rock - NOTE: for an alternate version, get the double-CD version of 'The Best of 1990-2000' which includes the History Mix DVD)
21. "Stuck in a Moment" (two versions - one more serious and the other more humorous)
22. "Electrical Storm" (Larry Mullen makes his acting debut with Samantha Morton - visually quite nice)
23. "The Hands That Built America" (just a studio performance)
