and those are the only songs you can ever hear by that artist again, ever:

I'll start with U2 -

Boy - Into The Heart/Out of Control/The Electric Co.
October - Gloria/Tomorrow/October
War - Like A Song.../Surrender/"40" (I've heard SBS and NYD enough to last a lifetime)
The Unforgettable Fire - A Sort Of Homecoming/Pride/Bad
The Joshua Tree - Where The Streets Have No Name/With Or Without You/One Tree Hill
Rattle And Hum - Desire/Heartland/All I Want Is You
Achtung Baby - Until The End Of The World/Mysterious Ways/Acrobat
Zooropa - Zooropa/Lemon/Some Days Are Better Than Others
Pop - Do You Feel Loved/Mofo/Please
