U218: Videos (Interscope)

U2's videos match their ambition: causing a mob scene in downtown L.A. ("Where the Streets Have No Name"), knocking about Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport ("Beautiful Day"), rocking the Louisiana Superdome with Green Day (Skids cover "The Saints Are Coming"). Released separately, Videos exceeds U218's audio analogue thanks to two extra versions of "One" and "Vertigo," and both U.S. and overseas clips for "Walk On" and "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of." (Watch for the Texas flag!) For extra holiday cheer, do a shot every time Bono extends his arms in the Jesus Christ pose. You'll be wasted by "Mysterious Ways."
