U2

DISCLAIMER:
I did a search, and it pulled up nothing (although I doubt that U2 haven't been discussed on here before).

Anyway.

I recently discovered U2 (like The Who, I used to despise them), and have found them to be quite the amazing band.

The Joshua Tree is of course an absolutely stunning record, but The Unforgettable Fire is my current fave. Purely because there are so many moments which sound absolutely NOTHING like U2 normally do. Oh, and there's that song called Pride, which is one of the best songs ever written.

Oh, and Zooropa is a fantastically underrated record. A bizarre mix of industrial beats and guitar pop/hard rock (and one of the songs features music that was included in the BE episode ANIMALS).

Sadly, apart from the above 3 records, I haven't got any other U2 stuff.

I was thinking of getting Achtung Baby, War and maybe How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (purely on the basis of the most exceptional 'Vertigo' single). Are these good choices? Do you like this band? Spill all!
