Best U2 B-Sides

U2 has a number of songs that have never appeared on their albums, yet are quite good in their own right. Some, like "A Celebration," were released as singles on vinyl to maintain radio interest in the band. Others, like "The Three Sunrises," were put on EPs. And some, like "Silver and Gold," were performed live on a semi-regular basis. Now that nearly all of U2's released songs are available at the iTunes Music Store as part of The Complete U2, I've created an iMix of what I consider the 13 best b-sides. These are completely original compositions and do not include remixes, covers, or live performances. Also, one I would have included is the mid-1980s track "The Sweetest Thing." But that was remixed to great effect, released as a single in 1998 and placed on their "Best of 1980-1990" album, so seek it out there.

I can always add or subtract to the list if anyone makes a comparable argument for or against any song.
