In an effort to keep this thread going
, I would just like to point out how U2 is one of those rare bands that manages to have at least a couple of great songs on each and every record, even their least best ones. To wit:
Boy: "The Electric Co." and "I Will Follow"
October: "Gloria" and "October"
War: "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "New Year's Day," "Drowning Man," "Surrender" and "40"
The Unforgettable Fire: "Bad," "Wire," "Pride (in the Name of Love)," "The Unforgettable Fire" and "A Sort of Homecoming
The Joshua Tree: Pretty much every song is great, except for maybe "Trip Through Your Wires" and "Exit"
Rattle and Hum: "All I Want Is You," "Hawkmoon 269," "Heartland" and "Van Diemen's Land"
Achtung Baby: Like TJT, pretty much every song, except for "Mysterious Ways," which I have never been that fond of, although I like it more now than I used to
Zooropa: "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)," "Zooropa" and "Dirty Day"
Pop: "Staring at the Sun," "Gone," "Please" and "Mofo"
All That You Can't Leave Behind: "Kite," "Walk On," "Beautiful Day" and "Elevation"
How to Dismantle at Atomic Bomb: "City of Blinding Lights" and "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own"
No Line on the Horizon: "Magnificent," "Unknown Caller," "Breathe" and "Fez-Being Born"
