On this day in 1987 U2 released what is possibly their definitive album, The Joshua Tree (some may argue Achtung Baby). Never a big fan but can appreciate some of their music.  |

Rab C Bono  Not sure about that jumper The Hedge is sporting I wouldn't argue that The Joshua Tree defined them. It probably did. My own personal favourite is Pop. Not a skip track on it. I suppose many people are largely influenced by the fact that Bono seems a bit of a prat. Whether he is or not, I have no idea. But U2's music for me has been pretty much timeless and fashion free since The Joshua Tree. Which makes them always relevant. Whatever that means  |

Achtung Baby and the tour that proceeded it, Zoo TV, will never be beaten IMO. A great piece of art followed by a tour that introduced so many different facets to a live environment, that the Rolling Stones even learned from. I love The Joshua Tree too. Was lucky to see them play it in it's entirety a few years back. However, this was one of my best live experiences of the band. No big screens, lights, bells and whistles, just balls to the wall rock n roll! I'm a bit of a fan... |
