I've tended to notice that the people that profess to love U2 tend to talk about the music and the passion that it stirs in them.
I've also tended to notice that people that profess to hate U2 tend to talk about taxes and the "huge ego" of the lead singer.
Sorry folks, music always wins that debate.



Beautifully put.

Every now and then, Bill tortures me with some U2. Gratefully, I think he's playing them less and less. But still, any at all is more than enough. Lousy vocals, mediocre band.

You are somewhere..... out there all right.

Hilarious!!!!! I can't believe I never realized that - from now on its names for me.

Great song, but I think I might prefer the Pet Shop Boys' cover version. I hope I'm not offending anyone! {#Angel}

Yeah I was always one of those who refused to get on the U2 bandwagon because they were just the biggest thing ever and it annoyed me all to hell that people with crap taste in music would run up and tell me how great they are and by the time this album came out the hype was The Biggest of All Time and record stores repainted themselves black and gold and hung banners and just basically made it so you couldn't avoid this album no matter how hard you tried and the local FM station played the 45 of this song and its hole was off center so the thing went woooawoooawooowoooo even more than Edge's guitar and the whole thing just disgusted me but damn. 30 years later you people who still carry that grudge? I feel really sorry for you. Really. Sorry.

If you point me towards "you people" who carry that grudge 25 not 30 years later I will fight them where the streets have no name for you but you must tell the voices in your head to stop yelling so loud.

Not sure what's best to describe U2, Boring or Annoying.

Maybe others feel the same way I do about this U2 song....from this period in their career, but after Zooropa , the edge (no pun intended) disappeared from this once-great band's music. Great singles here and there, but compared to this song.....something went missing. {#Stupid}

The only reason I am listening to this song is because the other guy in the room is eating chips and that sounds drives me effin nuts.
