The joke about Bono clapping his hands is good.

Also War is a great album I guess.

Was thinking recently about how I couldn’t in good faith construct a list of my favourite guitarists of all time without putting The Edge in. Pillock though he is.

Up until The Joshua Tree, yes. After that, not so much (although Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me is a total tune)

Achtung Baby is excellent, zooropa is very good and Pop has a couple of excellent tunes.

All shite after that.

Was never a big fan of theirs, was too young for the U2 mania that hit Ireland when I grew up and with Bono being Bono I always just avoided them.
So, I went and made a playlist of U2 songs I liked because of this and was surprised how much of it I liked.

For anyone interested.

Angel of Harlem is a banger

Can’t decide between Promenade and So Cruel as my favourite

I Will Follow is an absolute banger cos it sounds like Echo & the Bunnymen

A shrug of the shoulders to the rest

I could probably do a top 10 U2 without much effort, but none of the tracks would make my top 100. They’re alright - worse than that since Pop

War through to Zooropa is great. Bar a few good songs on Pop, everything after that is absolute shite.
