You were near that's "Red hill mining town".

U2 have some coating to explain, and the coating gets irritating. Still, they wrote (I dunno about their current output) some good songs.

I like a few things from Unforgetttable Fire and Joshua Tree.

The songs A Sort of Homecoming, Unforgettable Fire, Bad and Bullet the Blue Sky stick in the mind.

my favourite U2 song is the one where they ripped of sonic youth.

You're talking about the "dirty boots" ripoff, I believe? What was the name, though.... I think it's fairly new?

i have to admit i kind of found them tolerable during the pop era, i actually applauded them from stepping away from their usual crap and for saving enough money to buy the retch a phase pedal and a wah and hiding his digital delay. discoteque was hilarious, mofo had some good production and staring at the sun is their best song ever. most of it's still crap though.

of course, they got afraid because they sold 4 trillion tickets of their tour and the album went quintuple platinum instead of sextuple, so they decided to give the retch his pedal and write sunday crappy sunday over and over again.

We got a gig last St Patricks day doing U2 songs...not much of a fan, but Wire is probably my favorite
