That hurts.
Their 90's stuff was weak, but I think they've come back strong with two great albums. Part of what appeals to me about U2 is their openness about being a Christian rock band, and that part of them has been on strong display of late.
Since AB:
Zooropa: nothing too great but The First Time is an amazing song about the Holy Ghost, the Son, and the Father. And they did a live version of Bad on the Vertigo tour that rolls into the First Time that absolutely kicks A**.
Pop: pretty weak
Then throw in the Gangs of New York single which is tremendous.
ATYCLB: great album with Beautiful Day, Elevation (live version is sooo much better than radio version), Walk On, and some other worthy songs. Grace is a great faith building tune with great lyrics.
HTDAAB: Sometimes You Can't Make it on your Own, Miracle Drug, Love and Peace (live it kicks double A A**) with Bono playing the drums, Original of the Species, City of Blinding Lights--all great tunes. Yahweh is another faith building hymn that was very emotional and touching live.
