My ears are going to be bleeding come christmas time, yet again... at least it'll be to some top tracks. I think Vertigo is an alright choice, its not the best U2 song, but its easy to sing and only goes for 3 minuters, as opposed to some of their best stuff which often goes for 4.30-5 minutes.

They chose 'Life on Mars' over 'Ziggy Stardust'..?

Fails. Although anything with Unchained Melody, Wonderful World, Daydream Believer, Sweet Home Alabama and Blue Suede Shoes on the same thing can't be *that* bad.
