    Here's to you and I- my Greek friend- agreeing on something that should be agreed upon with everyone!

    I've got the War album going through my Bose headphones right as I type. 'Seconds' is the song as of the moment.

    Music... the universal language. The power to bridge all gaps.
    awesome idea..ill put war right away too..headphones as well!!
    cheers!

    edit..sunday ,bloody sunday,second,new years day,like a song...just wow..
    Incredible to start to an album. "Like a Song" is a straight-up rocker.

    Also, "Two Hearts Beat As One" is so, so good.

  • I have loved U2 for about 25 years now..but I gotta say I am a little over Bono....love their earlier stuff not so much their newer music.....wish they would get back to their roots...

    I've listened less since Pop but still a great band and like Dimi pointed out, the same 4 members for 35 years is amazing and they deserve their success. I still think they peaked on The Joshua Tree though. Achtung Baby is great too. I've not actually heard the last 2 albums all the way through.

  • I have never seen a crowd respond to a band the way the Vancouver crowd responded to U2 in 2005.

    The last song of the night- '40'- saw the entire crowd singing with the band just applauding.

    A phenomenal concert and experience.

    so many years I did not listen to them, now very curious about `the drowning man`
