You know you're getting old when a young whipper snapper says "I am diving into a band I know nothing about" and that band happens to be U2.
Indeed lols
I think you've nailed it...
Ya... We know!🤣 Too well🤣 Ya know?
Yes!!! I could not believe I heard that. Never hearing of U2??? lol
Seriously. I thought the same thing. 🤣🤣
The Joshua Tree album is excellent! Three of U2's most iconic songs in one place 🎶
Four of U2's most iconic songs ever written. In God's Country is the sleeper on The Joshua Tree album.
Not excellent. It is a masterpiece.
Best 3 song opening to any album, ever. Some Friendly by Charlatans UK is a nice 2nd place in this regard.
first time at Joshua tree I saw the landmark tree and then a few years later it was gone. So sad, because I wasn't originally a fan when I first saw it.
U2 have sold 175 million records worldwide. With 52 million certified units by the RIAA, U2 rank as the 22nd-highest-selling music artist in the US. One of the best ever!
Even more impressive is that they have won the most Grammys (22) and are neck and neck with The Rolling Stones as the biggest touring band ever. One has sold a few more tickets, and the other has grossed a little more money. I forget which is which.
@@UckU7777I’m pretty sure U2 will have gone above the Rolling Stones on both after their 40 shows in Vegas. They grossed 250 million dollars off the shows playing to 700,000 people.
Ooops! 3 million of those might have been me. :D
Ain't Wikipedia great?
Absolutely, where would we be without it?@@dougdougw
Wow…this is one of those moments where I cannot believe you haven’t heard a band. They just finished the inaugural residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas. I saw them and it was a peak concert experience. They closed with this song and 20,000 people sang along. Goosebumps moment. Stupefyingly good . They are now in their 60’s and still outstanding.
I was thinking the same thing. It's not exactly like they're some garage band from a few blocks over. It'd be like saying you just became aware of the moon. 🤣
@@g54b95 yep. Good analogy
Ya , I can understand not hearing some bands but U2? Wow.
@@g54b95This “moon” you speak of, where would I find it? 🤔
@@g54b95Because she's full of it, like most reactors.
Every 80s boy and girl in their teens fell in love and got their hearts broken to this song.
You will never hear another guitar sound like that of The Edge. Unique.
And Bono? One of the best vocalists and frontmen in rock. And a humanitarian. Deeply spiritual guy and it shows in his lyrics.
He’s one of the best singers to ever exist. His range is ridiculous, piano or forzando doesn’t matter, he can put us to sleep or blow us away. One of the best male vocalist I’ve ever heard in my life.
And a tax evader 😂 but I still love him tho, he’s done a lot for my country, U2 as a whole have
The first song from Korn I heard was "Good God", and somehow, Jonathan Davis sounded to me a little like Bono (in the soft singing phase of this weird piece).
U2 are an incredible band, Bono has one of the greatest voices ever. You should react to Where the streets have no name
Second that!! Classic U2 song
"One" would be my recommendation. But if she wants to stick to Joshua Tree, then yes, Where Streets Have No Name is a good choice.
One MV would by me next recommendation!!!! Their discography is huge. U2 has been so loved around the world for so many years!! Bono is also a great. U must watch them live as well. Do yourself a favor if u love this song and watch it live, either reacting or on your own! czcams.com/video/_Ye8GLPUVsM/video.htmlsi=ZuqBgvgIdhNeqhev
Also Where the Steets have no name live on top of a building in La!
One MV would be my highly highly next recommendation. Great job here. U2 is one of the most beloved bands of all time around the world. Their discography is massive. If you love this song please consider giving the live video of it a watch, either personally or as a reaction! czcams.com/video/xTyMxYi_KEs/video.htmlsi=tbIyMKxvYQYzzZYV It shows how amazing Bono really is. And he is an amazing and kind man. Also watch “where the streets have no name“ video on top of a building in LA! czcams.com/video/GzZWSrr5wFI/video.htmlsi=rXJmqladn1HuJRB6
Another favorite All I want is you!! ❤🫶🏻✌️
The live version in Slane is magic.
Gotta react to ONE by U2. One of the best songs EVER writen. MYSTERIOUS WAYS from the same album -Achtung Baby - is also incredible. If you like Bono's voice here, you will be blown away by the vocals on those two songs.
Yup, def both of those are some of the best by U2, or , yes, ANY BAND! They had their "Golden Age" of mind-blowingly great, adventurous-yet - popular masterpieces. "One Tree Hill," "Seconds," "I will follow," the list goes on!
Yeah its likely my favourite overall song of theirs. Another song that has an EXCELLENT intro and verse is "One Tree Hill" but sadly the choruses don't reach the same high....
That "whistle tone" is actually the guitar. The guitarist (The Edge) basically helped a friend to invented a tool to make the guitar sound like that.
True pioneers of their time
The “Infinite Guitar” was made by Edge’s friend, Michael Brooks. I own one that has a derivation of that system. WOWY is probably the only song where the infinite sustain system was put to great use. Radiohead uses a similar system on one of their guitars, but they haven’t come near what it’s done on this song.
Its not a guitar. It's a microphone plugged into a stylaphone inserted into bonos arse.
@@CathyHolton-jh1xvits used a ton by The Church. It’s just an E-Bow. Edge’s innovation was to implement it in the guitar (like a modern sustainiac pickup) - so he didn’t have to hold the E-bow - the e-bow has been around since the 60’s though.
@@zoeherriot I like the Sustainiac system. I’m not sure if you’ve ever used it, but it keeps all strings at the ready in the force field and the player has to control it. Play with a slide and use the tremolo and it sounds like an entirely different instrument. I play around with the Ebow every now and then, but switching strings takes a moment. The Sustainiac is always ready. I put the Sustainiac on an older, cheaper off-brand Stratocaster and it’s more satisfying. It’s like punting a midget when no one is looking.
@@CathyHolton-jh1xv lol - yes, I’ve used it - it’s really cool. I know Ed O’brien of Radiohead has a signature strat with a similar system built in. It’s good enough that the Edge actually uses them on tour. :)
I grow up listening to U2, Pink Floyd, Guns and Roses, Nirvana, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, The Smashing Pumpkins, Blur, Queen, Foo Fighters, Aerosmith and many many more. Music back than, was MUSIC. Achtung Baby is an amazing album from U2, the songs One and Mysterious Ways are my fav, but the all album is a master Piece. Thank you again, for a complete and brilliant reaction.
I love the bands you do.❤
This song is just about as perfect as a song can get. Beautifully arranged. Amazing vocals. Impeccable instrumentation. The video is even stunning and this is the song that really made the band superstars. The whole "The Joshua Tree" album is really amazing from start to finish.
Also, that guitar riff at the end could just go on forever. The Edge is a seriously underrated guitarist.
The “Tone Chaser”. 😁
I saw The Edge talking about the simple guitar chords coming in at 7:20 as being his favourite in any song.
@@philproffitt8363 thanks for sharing that. A nice bit of info. I’ll have to check it out
One of the world’s greatest rock super bands with a huge body of work for you to listen to. Also one of the best live bands you will ever see. Maybe check out some stuff from the Zoo TV concert in Sydney.
Nice reaction! U2 are a hugely successful rock band from Dublin, Ireland. Comprising Bono (vocals), the Edge (guitar), Adam Clayton (bass) and Larry Mullen Jr (drums). They emerged in the early 80's and grew gradually more successful until by the mid 80's they had become well established and were one of the highlights of the 1985 live aid concert.
They have gone in and out of fashion as is the way with bands that endure for such a long time. Some of my favourite early songs include - 'Into the heart', 'Out of control', 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' (from the 'Rattle and hum' live album is incredibly powerful and highly recommended!), 'Two hearts beat as one', 'A sort of homecoming' and 'Pride (in the name of love)'. I'm sure someone will recommend some of the later stuff but the early ones tend to get overlooked by reactors. Cheers.
My favorite ballad from U2 is "All I Want Is You". Beautiful haunting lyrics about endless love with amazing vocals from Bono, excellent music video + the live version in italy were even better, and i still can't believe you never heard this song "With Or Without You" before. I believe the lyrics was about drugs addiction.
Both songs are about Bono's wife Ali Stewart Hewson - his real name is Paul David Hewson - and the challenges of loving a rockstar and being a rockstar who is married.
"All I Want is You" is "our song" for my wife and I. We heard it first the night we met when watching the movie "Reality Bites" and it was our first dance wedding song. (Which I can't really recommend as it's 6+ minutes long with a long instrumental ending). That said I'd probably say "Where the Streets Have No Name" is still my all time fav U2 song followed by "AIWIU" and then "With or Without You." Add "Bad" and "A Sort of Homecoming" into the mix for a top 5 of the ages.
My wife and I enjoy this song, the live version from Sloan Castle is excellent and has one of the best live transitions into "where the streets have no name"
@clarkbarrett6274 Agreed. All your Top 5 U2 are fantastic and among my favs, too. Bad (live extended version) is my all-time fav & I especially enjoy seeing A Sort of Homecoming get some love-it’s tremendous.
@@KoYou9NWTM Cool. Thanks. So let's add "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)", "Stay (Faraway, So Close)", and "The Unforgettable Fire" to the end of that list.
Edit: "One" and "City of Blinding Lights" round out a Top 10.
@@clarkbarrett6274 Wow. My U2 music twin.
"New Year's Day" is my favorite U2 song. It's haunting and evokes post-apocalyptic images.
I know a girl, a girl called party...
Basically, U2 took over where Led Zeppelin cut off, and they carried the banner of conscious rock'n'roll with an emphasis on conscience for the next 25 years. They aren't as improvisationally dazzling in some ways, but with a vast perspective and carefully crafted effects and meanings. They wrote anthems about both personal struggles/evolution and social/human-rights issues around the world. So many great songs! "Pride" "One Tree Hill" "Mothers of the Disappeared" "Bullet the Blue Sky" "God Part 2" "Rattle and Hum" "One" "Sunday Bloody Sunday" "The Fly" and on and on...
They became such an important voice in human rights and policy that they were literally consulted by senators and prime ministers and top church leaders for inspiration and advice. Their fearless passion for the human condition, both personal and social, affected the world in important ways. They made it COOL to care... to REALLY CARE... what happens to both your own soul and your fellow humans right here on earth. Right now, you are living in a better age to some extent because they dared to stand up and challenge poeple to make better of themselves, inside and out, and to throw off the tyrant, both inside and out.
The also had a sense of humor about themselves, and they made it fun... and perhaps that makes just as much difference.
U2 were a great band from the 80's - with some massive worldwide hits - some must-listening songs: "Sunday bloody Sunday"; "New Year's Day"; "Pride (in the name of love)"; "Beautiful Day"; "Vertigo"; "I still haven't found what I'm looking for".
❤❤❤
You should try their live version of "All I Want is You / Where the Streets Have No Name"
Big fan of their earlier work. New years day and Sunday, bloody Sunday are amazing.
Nice shirt!! Next U2 should be "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". :)
Great reaction, U2 is a proper rabbit hole. Their first 20 years from their debut album is outstanding. They moved with the times album on album changing their sound and image. Sometimes losing fans along the way but also gaining a lot of fans with their new direction.
The song is written from Bono’s perspective of being a rock and roll frontman but also being a married man. Not being able to live without the one or the other.
You need to do U2 live though they are arguably the greatest live band of all time
You need to hear
One
Where the streets have no name
Still haven’t found what I’m looking for
Mysterious ways
Stuck in a moment
Vertigo
This was the song that made them world famous. I was a teenager when it came out, and I knew who they were before its release, but after...it was like night and day in terms of their popularity.
Thank you for this!
Pink Floyd and U2, my two faves!
High five! 🙌 Two of my faves as well!
I love this band. When I set up my U2 playlist, I told myself to not get carried away with it and just pick the "good ones". My U2 playlist has 62 songs. So many to choose from, "MAGNIFICENT" and "VERTIGO" are nice picks, highly recommend. After that, you've only got 59 more to experience. ;)
U2, one of the greatest rock bands ever to exist. Truly unique, talented, and rated so by musicians and non musicians alike.
One of the best albums of the 80's, seen them live a few times, Cardiff, Wales in 2009 they played a stripped down version of this and 80,000 people sang their hearts out - wonderful experience,
Their hit's from The Joshua Tree album would be the next logical place to go.
Having seen quite a few of your reactions now, I can confidently recommend that you listen to U2's All I Want Is You. It's a gorgeous song that I think you'd absolutely fall in love with!
There is a great live version of it. Bono invites a girl onto the stage and she plays the song on guitar.
Best live band everrrrrrr
The instrumental at the end of this song is fantastic
The album this is from "The Joshua Tree" is their master piece . It is a don't skip a track album that is best listened to in one sitting to properly take it all in . For a Truly Emotional performance check out their performance of "Bad" at LIVE AID in '85 . Everyone always talks about Queen stealing that show but U2's performance that day was just as good . BTW the "whistling" tone is guitarist The Edge , playing & controlling his guitars feedback . He is not a traditional "shredder" type guitarist but he uses the instrument to "paint" colors of soundscapes on the bands songs .
Welcome to the U2 rabbit hole. They are amazing and world famous and universally loved for a reason. Maybe check out Where the Streets Have No Name, live at Slane Castle. Actually the version where they perform All I Want Is You which evolves into Where the Streets Have No Name. It’s absolutely incredible and gives one a good understanding of how great this band is live. Love your content ❤
Hello Stacey,😁 You should listen to their song Sunday Bloody Sunday 😁
👏 Yes .. but the1983 Live at the Red Rocks version for it is far more electrifying than the studio.
I am sure this girl is very interested in the 1970s Northern Irish political shenanigans. Maybe you could link her to a collection of Ian paisley speeches. i am sure her seat will be soaking wet in minutes.
I've seen U2 in concert 4 times in total, brilliant band
U2 ROCKS. And Bono is a genuinely lovely person. Please check out "One" and "Vertigo" !
Great reaction again Stacey. For U2 it all begins and ends with the song “Bad” at Live Aid. A must watch.
OMG, yeah, i saw that with friends as it was happening! That girl getting on stage and Bono holding her as they swayed to the tune!
My favorite song of all time!!! Seeing them in concert was epic!!
Did you see them before Bonos voice fell to pieces?
@@uv77mc85 Yes, I did. They came to Baltimore MD. That was in the early 2000's. That band has been my favorite since the early 80's! Bono is so interactive with the crowd! Bring people up on stage. Getting the crowd hyped with lots of love for the world! It's definitely a "Bucket List" moment. 😀
Great reaction.
Another great U2 song to react to is "All I want is you" it is a great song and the film clip is beautiful.
This is a truly beautiful and deep song. Utterly perfect! U2 has many great songs, this is one of the best.
When U2 War came out in the 80s it was my soundtrack for the summer… the cassette had the entire album on each side of the tape so you could listen all the way through uninterrupted and then it would flip… good memories
One of the best outros ever in a song. So simple and beautiful.
Hi Stacey. make sure you're gonna watch the 2001 live version in Boston. All I say is: "when a dream comes true" 😉
HI Stacey! Thanks for coming into U2...This band spews emotions on all levels and that in combination with inspiring lyrics will move you every day! They go back a long way and I can't wait for you to dive in to more of this journey...Thanks
Stacey, This is the song in the Summer of 1987, I went from 🇸🇪Sweden to work @ Diabetic Kids Summer Camp in Penn State (Spring Mount Camp Firefly)!!!
My Coworker from Scotland, promoted the song & made it known to all of us, so after about 8 weeks we all had a hard time into the end of camp's to separate with kids, staff & other staff!
We became like a Family!
After Camp break, travelling around visiting Coworkers, Kids etc we finally hapened to visit Boston & @ the "Old" Garden we sat in the Ice hockey Penalty box & first saw Little Steven & Disciples of Soul as a warm up to the all summer hyyped U2 in their "Josuah Tour" Concert!
Still reading?!😉
Anyway, still 37 years ago...
This Great piece of music - Gives me chills & Great memories back!🫶
A very special reaction, Thank YOU!
Take care & Keep it up!
Greetings from 🇸🇪!
B🙃
You must hear "Bad" "Pride (in the Name of Love" "A Sort of Homecoming" "New Year's Day" and "I Will Follow."
The drums are the best part for me on this one ! Use to play it over and over beating my desk to death ! Back in 87 when it was released ! lol
How many drum patterns are on this song? I noticed at least 2 changes; they’re typical for big U2 songs. I counted at least 2 drum patterns on “Pride” also.
@@CathyHolton-jh1xv Their awesome drummer is way underrated, i myself cant even remember his name right now, dammit, lol.
@@joescott8877 Larry Mullen Jr.
Love U2 ! a great band for sure. sonority of guitars are so special of this period: 80-90's. But check the live version of this song in the "Live in Boston 2001". A great moment for a fan girl. she will remember for all her life !!!
here another one to check: "the cure" !
The "whistling tone" is a very clever effect on the guitar :).
The whole Joshua Tree album is phenomenal.
An Irish band with a DEEP catalog of wonderful music! Terrific reaction by you!
Somehow this song will always remind of "Friends" when Rachel sat in the window....can't remembering why though🙈😂
It's by far their best commerically recognisable song.
ANOTHER BANGER FROM U2...I LOVE THIS BAND
U2 is my favorite band ever. The Joshua Tree was my first album I bought by myself back in the day. Oh I love the 80s forever. Best music decade in my opinion. Most number 1 hits. Glad U2 is still there performing.
This song/album propelled them to superstar status. Never looked back since.
It amazes me kids havnt heard this before. Top 10 80s songs if not top 5 of all time
If this is your first U2 experience Stacey, you have quite a lot to catch up on, as they have been one of the premier rock bands for the past 43 years. You must check out "Beautiful Day", "One", "The Sweetest Thing" (Bono's musical apology to his wife Ali for forgetting her birthday), "Where The Streets Have No Name", "All I Want Is You", "Pride" ( a homage to Reverand Dr Martin Luther King), "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" (an anti war anthem), "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "Gloria", "New Year's Day", "Mysterious Ways", and "When Love Comes To Town" (a collaboration with BB King). I have been a fan from the very beginning and finally got to see them play in November 2019. the 39 year wait was worth every second.
U2 " I still haven't found what I'm looking for"..........."bad" (live aid performance) x 😊
🎼🔥🔥🍀 ... these are the famous rockers from Ireland. .. they have been megastars for over 35 years. It is hard for someone my age (.. college in the mid 80s ..) to think that someone has never heard of U2. That really seems impossible, but you are younger. Not only are they phenomenal artists .. but they have been world statesman for equality , peace and for feeding the hungry. They have large voices in the world of celebrities trying to make a difference.
I will suggest one of my favorite songs for you... it is " Desire " .. from one of their early albums .. - Rattle And Hum -
Looking forward to your discovery of U2. 🍀🔥🔥🔥🎼
Love U2 I grew up listening to them.
You want to try: Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me.
Oh God yes, SUCH a banger!! "Elevation" from that same era as well, I believe. Supercharged Pop brilliance!
I fogot what a great voice Bono has. I remember the first time I learned of U2 when I was a kid. MTV was playing a U2 concert at Red Rocks which is an ampitheatre cut into the side of a mountain in Denver. The mist was rolling in from the mountains while they were performing and it was magic. I believe "The Joshua Tree" was voted best album of the 80's if I'm not mistaken. "Bullet the Blue Sky" was the best song on that album IMO.
They're a great band, and an excellent live band. If you have a chance, I would recommend reacting to a live version of the next U2 song you watch.
I was a big fan in the 80s and then early 90s but my interest waned over time, but still really like their late 1970s and 1980s albums. Thank you for the nice reaction.
You could argue that U2 had the best song of both the 80's (With or Without You) and the 90's (One) and I would totally understand where you are coming from.
I saw U2 play at The Sphere in Vegas. Such a once in a lifetime experience!
One of your best reactions yet. As I have stated before, I never miss one of your shows. Your totally honest and from the heart . Keep up the good work pretty lady
My all time favourite rocky ballad (The only thing matching the feels for me these days is 'Daydreaming' by Band-Maid...also a little of that chiming guitar style early on). U2 were the biggest ticket in the world for a while...epic songs, Bono a great poet, and what comes to mind next is 'Pride (In The name of Love)'...their tribute to Martin Luther King.
This is one of my favorite songs by U2.
U2 is the greatest band of the last 40 years and the biggest live band of the last 35 years
How!? Can you not have heard of U2? One of the biggest bands
of the planet! You know coca-cola? Star wars? Lego? The beatles? Elvis? Michael Jackson?
This seams impossible to me, to be able to avoid hearing anything about them...
Mindblowing and impressive I have to say...
I'm not trying to mock you or anything, I'm just stunned...
Never...???
I am so glad you liked it though! U2 has so much more to offer. Keep going!
Be safe
Once again you pick a great song to react to. This was a monster album when it came out. Pretty much every song is incredible. But seeing them live is another experience entirely. Their pure emotion, the way they interact with the crowd, is just unbelievable. At some point, you will hear something that will remind you of the happiest moments of your life. And at other times you so hear something that will make you cry your eyes out. This band knows how to pull it all out of you. But don't worry, you're cute when you're crying.
There is a live performance of this, were Bono pulls a girl from the crowd and sings the song lying next to her. Incredible!
Although U2 were already pretty famous before this album, when this single (and Joshua Tree album) was released in 1987, it was during an incredible era of rock music with many other seasoned artists and bands colliding on the charts. Dire Straits, Simple Minds, INXS and many, many more were releasing ew albums in the mid 80s and touring to larger arenas and more international locations . A magical time for rock music .
Where the streets have no name, all I want is you, one, I still haven’t found what I’m looking for, pride (in the name of love) I could go on and on
What you refers to as the whistle tone is The Edge's infinite guitar, producing a similar sound as an Ebow. The signal runs through effects like delay and shimmering reverb (originally created together with Brian Eno for the album Unforgettable Fire in 1984). It is part of The Edge's signature sounds.
Best band ever, Stacey! Do more!
One of the biggest rock bands of all time.
One of the best and best produced albums of all time! From this album, "Bullet the Blue Sky," "Where the Streets Have No Name," and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" are excellent!
This band takes live shows to a whole nother level. "Bad" is my favorite, especially live. There first hits were Sunday, Bloody Sunday andNews Years Day, some other big hits are Beautiful Day, Where The Streets Have No Name, Where The Streets Have No Name, One...another of my favorites, All I Want Is You, Mysteriou Ways, Pride, and Desire. But they also have many deep cuts that are just as great....but for me, live is awesome.
Love this song, especially with the Irish poetry in the lyrics
This is a good song , I really like their older songs , New Years Day, I will follow , Sunday Bloody Sunday . Music with more of a edge and Edge!
Their concert at Red Rocks is primo.😊
I was 17 when Joshua Tree was released and I spent many mornings recovering from the evening before with it playing. It's still third from U2 behind War and Boy.
Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart; you are a beautiful, Bright Angel letting the music flow through you and expressing how it touched your heart - so you
are the music. All your hard work and commentary are greatly appreciated. Thank you for all the diversity of songs and genres you play. Try their song "It's A Beautiful Day".
Well you did say you weren’t knowledgable about music - U2 are incredible. Not many bands have been around for 40 years. Blessings!
Great reaction. So many great U2 songs. Try the songs, "One" and "Bloody Sunday" for more of an introduction.
Greetings from Ireland and welcome to U2 . !!!!
Hi:) I realy like your Pink Floyd reactions, and now when you found U2 i like it even more:)) My two absolute favorite bands of all time. U2 has maaaaany big hits, spesially on this album, The Joshua Tree. But just like Pink Floyd, you can look forward to hours with top class music
This was an absolute hit in '87, I was eighteen and it was such an awesome time, like duh :). Anyway, there was an even better banger from U2 that I remember rolling at the time and it's called 'Where the streets have no name'. Give it a go.
A world traveler and a native English speaker who has never heard of U2... C'mon, man, I'm not that older than her and I've practically never traveled beyond Serbia, and I can recite at least 10 of their songs by heart.
I love these videos of kids discovering real music and real bands for the first time.
i still can't believe it sometimes when people said i never heard it before. its like saying, i never heard of the moon, i never heard of the Internet before
Cannot imagine how could it happen that someone never ever heard U2 in common and With Or Without You especially.
Great reaction, Stacey! I really enjoy seeing a younger generation appreciate music from the past.
Great reaction as usual Stacey . I saw U2 at Wembley Stadium London in 1997 on the Popmart tour . It was spectacular complete with a 40 foot tall lemon which turned into a mirror ball that opened up to reveal the band inside . Crazy sight . 🙂
One of my favorite bands of all time! Glad to see you getting exposed to their signature sound. The best Of 1980-1990/The B-sides is a double album CD i got in the very late 90s and almost all those songs are on my regular playlist. Pride (in the name of love) and Where the Streets Have No Name are two of my favorite iconic songs from that decade.
The Edge on guitar his distinctive sound 😊
So much fun following your reactions. You are definitely hitting the best of the best bands in each era. U2 were a top band with some very relevant songs of the time. Love all your content.
This song brings your heart in places it doesn't even imagine they exist... those places in wich you realize there's someone or something you can't live with or without.
Everytime I listen to this song I feel a sort of "happy sadness"... it's a masterpiece.
Greetings from Italy!
My personal favourite is "All I want is you", another very emotional ballad with a great black & white video.
