Just curious as to how the devoted internet-U2 fan feels about this. Which of the two albums do you prefer? (By the way, I'm interested in only the studio records. Not the live shows. Not the outtakes. Just the official, original albums.)

Was getting my hair cut in Tokyo today, and a cover of 'All I Want Is You' came on the radio. Female lead vocalist. Keyboard / synth-dominated backing, with drums and some light guitar, maybe. Overall sound / production reminded me of maybe The Corrs in the late-90s. I haven't followed...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has available to post, or has a link to, a particular photo from 1991. It's from the Achtung Baby sleeve (some editions), and it's one of the regular photos in the grid on front and back. I'm talking about the one with all 4 members sitting on the floor, and they...

I was wondering what people thought about this. In U2 by U2, Paul McGuinness says that as they got near the end of The Joshua Tree sessions, it seemed they "couldn't quite get it over the line", so he suggested they bring in Steve Lillywhite to help out. Not surprisingly, McGuinness says, "I...

No, this is not an "I hate U2 thread." I love U2 and still enjoy their new songs and recordings. I thought Songs of Innocence was quite good, and I appreciate it as a very solid recording this late into their career. (I thought No Line on the Horizon was the biggest turkey of their career --...

What's the best U2 bootleg? If you're in the know, maybe share your tops from each decade.

Hi. Question for the historians: Back in the late 70s or (more likely) early 80s, did U2 play as part of a larger bill for Britain's CND (campaign for nuclear disarmament)? This would be a gig somewhere in England, probably south-England. The headliner was supposedly the Thompson Twins, with...

Happy New Year, everyone. One of my Xmas gifts (to myself) is a book: The Beatles: All These Years -- Tune In, by Mark Lewisohn, who is probably the planet's #1 Beatles' expert. He's previously written 6 reference books relating to The Beatles, been given unprecedented access to Abbey Road...

It's been a while since any thread has given me the opportunity to do bad puns based on U2 songs. (I think my peak was when Bono's back went out -- "I Threw My Back Out Near a Window", etc.). Can anyone throw me a bone?

I was recently reading something about the Johnny Cash box-set, or whatever it was, from some years back, where I believe it was a 3-disc collection divided by themes. (Bono wrote the sleeve-notes to the 'God' disc.) So, this made me think that if U2's plane went down tomorrow, it would be...

I'm pretty out of touch with all things U2 since 2005 or so, and I didn't think much of No Hits On The Horizon. It occurred to me today (I have some time on my hands right now) that I may have missed some good U2 songs of recent years, although I fear there haven't been many. I log in here...

What do you rate as the best five studio tracks of U2's starting with Pop and going up to today? (NOTE: list only studio tracks... list only five... think of it literally as "best", not as most popular, most important to their career, etc... just "best" in your subjective opinion. Thanks.) Did...

I think War is a great album, and I like that period of the band. 'Two Hearts Beat As One' and 'Drowning Man' seem to be somewhat unheralded tracks that are rather great. I guess I'll always like this album since it was maybe the second U2 album I got into (after Joshua Tree), but I think it...

This may have been on here before, but it's so funny (and well done) I wanted to share it: Top 5 Awful Moments in U2's "Rattle and Hum"
