That song might be overplayed, I'll give you that, but they were landmarks for U2 years ago, they can't/shouldnt be drop out U2 would not be U2 without Pride, SBS, NYD, WOWY... That are the songs that made them big (and I'm not saying these are the best song, only the most famous and known ones)...
amen. The problem is the band has to try and appeal to casual fans, and as good as Bad or Ultraviolet, or even The Fly are, those aren't songs that reach the non-fans. I'm guilty of it. And let me ask you, how many of you got into U2 by listening to Kite or Please? The point I'm trying to make is that U2 has to try and appeal to everyone, and those songs don't really draw fans in. But I think just like most bands, once you become a fan of them you learn that their "hits" aren't their best songs. Anyway, we're not all going to be happy, but I think they could throw a bone to us hardcore fans, more often.

Reminds me to something I was thinking about today...:
What if U2 asked their fans for a collection of wanted songs to play on each gig? For instance..: U2 comes to Rotterdam and 4 weeks before the gig we Dutch have the ability to vote for 4 songs. All these votes are collected which results in, let's say, 8 most-wanted songs. U2 plays them through the nights(whether there are 1, 2 or 3 or more gigs) and please the fans.
Not too hard to do..I'd say. And of course, Acrobat and other non-played songs will be in that list. But still...

That would mean that they'd have to rehearse for a pretty long time... might be hard once Bono decides to save the world again.
R.E.M. does something somehow similar, they take requests via their webpage and play some every now and then.
Back on topic: I could imagine a lot of songs that might benefit from a break - but I personally can live with everything except Stuck

I just hope this new tour will be about music instead of 5-minute intros prior to One. But like what you said about REM, U2 could do something similar. Maybe with a possible farewell-tour, who knows.
How about retiring Elevation. It has been prominently featured on the last 2 tours, it bores the hell out of me. Replace it with Kite or Walk On or both.

Agreed. There was way too much talking during VT. I don't need to hear the whole "This is the drug we're stuck on, blah blah blah...this Miracle Drug" crap.
