769. U2 - The Best Of 1980-1990

I got this for two reasons: I didn't any of their early stuff on CD and the first pressings of this disc came with a bonus cd of b-sides, and I'm a sucker for anything that comes in a limited edition.

Disc 1 has the band's biggest (yet not best really) hits from 1980 till 1990. The selection, at 14 tracks is decent but you're left wanting more.

Disc 2 has 15 b-sides... most are weak (especially the covers), but some of the earlier ones are interesting. If they really wanted to release a greatest hits the two separate sets would have been sold as one.
