U2 is amazing, their singles are all over played, their darker material (zooropa, pop, passengers) are masterpieces.

i agree, Achtung Baby is incredible, one of my favorite albums ever. the others are solid, the singles do get overplayed and people like to make fun of them for being "safe rock" etc. but they are million times better than Fall out Boy etc. and are overall a good band.

i used to think the same thing, that they were boring soft rock, but Achtung Baby changed my mind. i adore that album.

Achtung Baby is also my favorite U2 album, but they weren't exactly a happy-go-lucky pop group before that.  Their prior catalogue has some very dark, intense music (I Will Follow, October, New Years Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bad, Exit, Running to Stand Still, etc, etc).  If anything, you could argue that their biggest cream-puff pop song is on Achtung Baby - Mysterious Ways (I fucking hate that song).  I think you're right, however, in that they're perceived to be lacking an edge because the softer stuff gets overplayed.

you summed up U2 perfectly

They're one of the most underrated bands ever.. I know the media praises them a lot, but it's mainly because of their big hits

Their unknown songs like Red Hill Mining Town, Acrobat, Running to Stand Still, Ouf of Control, I Will follow, Ultraviolet, Lemon are awesome

And of course, One is like one of the 5 best songs ever

yup, i love how they completely reinvented their sound with Achtung Baby yet still kept it undeniably U2. that album is really something else.

i actually own Zooropa and Pop but never really gave them proper listens, i gotta do that....lol.

Did they ever release a cd with all the songs from the DVD of Rattle and Hum?  I have the cd and it's got 17 tracks.  I'm trying to find this full cd with all the tracks, or some other live cd from the Joshua Tree era.  Anyone know where to find something like this?

I'm really surprised they never released the full version.  The last songs that were played live at sundevil stadium there are so incredible.

I never did notice that.  I remember it started when the credits started rolling, and never sat through it.

i just busted out Zooropa, never really gave it a proper listen. i love it!! "The Wanderer" with johnny cash on lead vocals is mesmerizing. i also had Pop, which also never gave a proper listen, i dont like it that much. i think U2's best albums are the joshua tree, achtung baby, and zooropa.

i hope this new album they are working on is more expermental than the last two releases.

I learnt something quite awsome on Classic Albums - The Joshua Tree.

Whilst they were recording the album, The Edge used to bring into the studio bags of tapes upon which he had recorded various rhythms and melodies. The band's way of creating their music is truly inspiring!

 ^As many things to do with the Irish simply can't be expressed in words.......all I can say is man, I love the Irish - god bless their souls!

Also, Bono plays the guitar too and Brian Eno did the producing (with another guy, whose name escapes me now)....

Um, why is The Edge called The Edge?

Next U2 Album Pushed To Early 2009

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Initially expected this fall as a fourth-quarter blockbuster, U2's next album has been pushed to early 2009 while the band continues to write and record material. "I thought a while back we might have the album wrapped by now, but why come up above ground now if there's more priceless stuff to be found?," Bono writes on U2.com.

Of late, the group has been recording in the south of France, having already logged time in Fez and Dublin with longtime collaborators Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois and Steve Lillywhite.

'We know we have to emerge soon but we also know that people don't want another U2 album unless it is our best ever album," Bono says. "It has to be our most innovative, our most challenging ... or what's the point ?"

Bono says the band now was "50 or 60" new songs to consider for inclusion on the follow-up to 2004's "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb."

"The last two records were very personal, with a kind of three piece at their heart, the primary colors of rock -- bass, guitars and drum," he says. "But what we're about now is of the same order as the transition that took us from 'The Joshua Tree' to 'Achtung Baby.'"

Among the songs in the mix are "Get on Your Boots," "For Your Love," "Breathe," "No Line on the Horizon" and the eight-minute "Moment of Surrender." One source who has heard several of the works-in-progress describes them to Billboard as "amazing and a little out there. I hope they don't change anything."

"I'm always the one who underestimates how easy it is to simply 'put out the songs now.' If it was just up to me they'd be out already!," Bono says. "But early next year people will be able to start hearing what we've been doing. We want 2009 to be our year, so we're going to start making an impression very early on."
