Some very interesting choices so far. Thanks for your suggestions and keep them coming. I might compile a small chart of most-wanted tracks.

Paninaro '07

A really dark, moody re-working... maybe for Disco 4?

Hi Neil!

In general, their reworkings of older songs tend to be inferior to the original versions - It's A Sin and In Private are prime examples of this - which is why I'd rather have them stay away from rerecording them. Having carefully picked out people to remix some classics would probably yield better results anyway.

Love the new sequencing & backing vocals on the Fundamental tour version of Where the streets have no name (I can't take my eyes off you). Get Neil & Chris in the studio with Pete Gleadall & Trevor Horn to re do a studio version, even if it's just to annoy Bono again!!!

Whilst they're at it a new electro version of How can you expect to be taken seriously? will do the trick.

You have a point, as far your examples are concerned. However, I do consider the Violence Hacienda Version superior to the original on Please. I also think the Montage version of West End Girls is the best version of the song ever made.

The tracks they did for the XFM radio session in 2003 were rather good, Opportunites in particular, which sounded great and resembled something of a electro remake of the bobby o version. Much darker than the Please version.

Ooh, I like that idea

Erm, I can't think of any suggestions myself but I will say Paninaro is one of their worst songs and it's bad enough they've already done an update/remix of it. No more Paninaro!
