U2 had some great albums early in their career, whatever anyone thinks of their work now. wink

Personally I prefer U2's music from
the Achtung Baby/Zooropa/Pop era.
They went kinda crazy from all the success
& went off the wall a bit.

As preachy as you think BONO is, there are were others that have done worse , but also alot of the later material now is NOT about the "world" its about him and his loss of his father, there relationship, his relation with his own family. And also alot of the latest album is all about the band starting its roots and also about Larry and his son. So i think the days of preachy were back in the Achtung Joshua days.

My point still remains that there are still songs that should ALWAYS make you rethink U2!

Don't be such an asshole shake

I think U2 are a great band. Like any others that span a 30+ year career, they have some albums that are fantastic and others that are just for the diehard fans. They have made some great music over the years.

Idiot!

Bono is helping Monsanto and others rape Africa. He is a con man. Fuck him.

Come on, people... We all know this one's the best:



I do like One, despite its earnestness. I always thought, though, that if anything was going to save Bono from the wall, come the revolution, it could well be Miss Sarajevo, and that documentary that the footage in the video came from, which I remember being moved by in my teens. He's pretty much emptied his karma account by now, though, so I think, when the time comes, I'll probably just let him run and, if I catch him, I catch him, and, if I don't, I don't.
