A celebration of U2: I remember buying U2 the Joshua Tree with my own money as a kid. This album didn't get tired after a month. It was an album with layers upon layers of fire, intensity and veracity. Three chords and the Truth indeed, except that the Edge added a lot more to those three chords and played them unlike any other guitarist i'd ever heard, you combine that with the conviction and emotion of Bono's voice and you have something magical that simply can't be conveyed in a YouTube video, but we do it here! Anyone who has heard this album more than a few times and grew up with it, know's exactly what i'm talking about. It's transformative and utterly compelling. Included are my top 5 U2 80s songs.
