The launch celebration continues tonight in a Anton Corbijn-directed Vevo webcast from Madrid's Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas beginning at 4PM EST. Since the anticipation is killing us, we thought now would be a good time to compile ten of the most relistenable versions of the band's sentimental megahits, of which there have been a lot...
