While I haven't heard much of this band beyond their hits, I do like a lot of them. Favourites include New Year's Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, One, With Or Without You, Pride, Mysterious Ways, Where The Streets Have No Name and Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of.

From what I've seen on my Live Aid DVD and my brother's Live 8 DVD, they're also very good live. U2 are defintely on my list of bands I want to get a live DVD of.

My favorite song by U2 is "Kite" And don't they have a special U2 iPod?

U2: Great 80s band, terrible 00s band.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Koga · 08-15-2006, 03:44 AM

I disagree. Their 80s material was the best, but I still like songs like Elevation, Beatiful Day, Stuck in a Moment and Vertigo, all from their last two albums.

***CaptHayfever*** · 08-15-2006, 10:29 AM

Ugh, I despise "Vertigo".

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I love Vertigo, but mostly I like their old stuff (In the name of Love and Sunday Bloody Sunday to name a few). -CSM

Koga · 08-15-2006, 03:57 PM

Yeah, I listed in the Name Of Love as well (Pride). Its full title is Pride (In The Name Of Love). I think my favourite is New Year's Day. I love that bassline.
