The Best of 1990-2000 is a greatest hits compilation released in November 2002. It takes a decidedly revisionist approach and includes various remixed and re-recorded tracks and two entirely new songs. It was preceded a week in advance by a limited edition containing a special B-sides disc and a bonus DVD. In December of the same year, a companion DVD (featuring music videos and live footage) was released.

It includes two new songs. "Electrical Storm" was released as a single. "The Hands That Built America" appeared on the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York film (with a different, more traditional arrangement than the one here).

It is also the first full U2 release to include "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me", a 1995 single originally contributed to the Batman Forever soundtrack, and "Miss Sarajevo", another 1995 single originally released on Original Soundtracks No. 1 as "Passengers".

The DVD edition is remarkably extensive and often includes multiple videos of each song, director's commentary, several songs completely unavailable on the CD editions, and three short documentary pieces.
