U2's Bono was one of the few real rock heroes of the 1980s, leading the Irish band to international recognition with a charged, political approach to music. The band's early efforts brought a stadium-size presence to post-punk, with Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's distinct guitar lines interacting seamlessly with the rhythm section of bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. In 1987, U2 broke through to superstardom with THE JOSHUA TREE, a grand culmination of their '80s sound. In the 1990s, however, the band very purposefully deflated that epic image, simultaneously adding ambient, dance, and electronica touches on 1991's ACHTUNG BABY. Mining that vein for much of the decade, U2 kicked off the 21st century with a triumphant return to form that was embraced by new and longtime fans alike. - HMV

Am I the only person in the world who kind of likes this? Nice sort of late 60s vibe...

2003 13 Swing Swing

2003 69 The Last Song

2006 42 Move Along

2006 18 Dirty Little Secret

2006 66 It Ends Tonight

2009 18 Gives You Hell

Very typical song by U2 and very average one as well

On the other hard, Gives You Hell is pleasant, simple but nice :)

not enough for a Top 10 though

This song is seriously AMAZING! I do prefer their older stuff, but their new stff is ok too :dancing:

I agree, I was shocked when Jonathon Ross joked that everyone prefers Coldplay now but after they performed the current single and a song from their new album I think it was pretty justified. I'm not that familiar with their work but they can't have always been this bad.
