U2, one of my three favorites bands.  But I ALWAYS skip this song when I listen to this CD.

I think I like the IDEA of Bono, but not so much in action... it's not so much the music (I think I have Joshua Tree somewhere), it's just everything else. Did anyone see that South Park? {#Roflol}  Also, I couldn't help looking for Physicsgenius's comment on this U2 song, they make my day.

I agree about Yahweh. I always skip this track.

What's great about all this faceless online puffery, is that it's even MORE useless than run-of-the-mill flame wars. In the end it's obvious that Bill likes U2 and will continue to play them no matter how loud you jackasses howl or how many times you childishly attempt to manipulate the song ratings.

Keep typing numbnutses and I'll keep enjoying one of the greatest bands in rock history.

When was there ever much right with U2? talk about over rated hype, cliche and obscure self-important references.

I might have even listened to this if "The Edge" would ever master even a slightly different guitar riff than he has played over and over for the last 15 years. Same style, same chord progressions, same effects...yawn.

Oh, and many of us would also be grateful if Bobo would lose those goofy shades.

Did somebody already say "pretentiousness". I think so.
"Bobo"!....LoL It suits him!

Bill should play Mercy, which has sat on the play list, unplayed, for years. And that's easily the best track they've done in years. It's 6 or 7 minutes of bliss.

You accused me of rating the BAND, which I am not doing. Whether or not you approve of my method of voting, I am indeed voting on the SONG, not the BAND.

What a stupid comment. As someone else said on another U2 thread "rate the song not the band numbnuts"


Hmmm...where in my comment did I say I was rating the band? I happen to like U2 quite a bit. Well, I like good U2, anyway.

I WAS rating the song, numbnuts, and I'm standing by my comment. In the name of good taste, I don't think this should be played anymore when there's much better U2 available, so I'm dragging the overall rating down as far as I can. I hate to burst your bubble, but this happens all the time.

It's the consistency that the Stones (who I really like BTW) can't even come close to. U2 has consistently been good for 25 years now. Hard to find a 25 year period for the Stones like that.


Popular for the last 25 years. Good is a matter of opinion.

I think you misunderstand his point. "Or else" isn't intended as a threat...it's warning...if we fail to keep the Peace, bad things will happen for everyone. I think that's all he is saying here...It's an obvious point but one worth repeating. Anyway, Bono isn't an idiot. He's actually a pretty good song writer and a great performer.
I think I have to agree Goo. Matter of fact, Bono was just in the news promoting taking care of the poor to church leaders around the world. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Good point. I can't think of another band that, first, has retained all of its original members for so long, and, second, been so successful for so long. Amazing.
