I stopped listening to U2 about ten years ago, once they started churning out drivel like 'A beautiful day'. This week, though, I saw three albums going for a fiver (The Joshua Tree, Under A Blood Red Sky and The Unforgettable Fire), which I bought and they reminded me why they were the biggest band of the 80's.
The unforgettable Fire, especially, is an amazing album. The title track is just beautifully haunting. A perfect record, I reckon. I'm sure most prefer 'The Joshua Tree', but '...Fire' edges it, for me.
If there are any ex-fans of U2 out there, dust off the old classic albums and remember why you used to love them. And then cry a little bit when you think of what they have become.
