It's funny, none of us in my area in California had ever heard of U2 because they didn't get any air play on the radio. When "Sunday Bloody Sunday" first played on the radio, I waited all night for it to play again so that I could record it on tape and play it for my friends. We all thought this was their first album until we went to buy it at the record store and saw "Boy".

This song is 🔥!!!!

ON YOUR KNEES BOY! ~Red

My absolute favorite U2 song ❤️ saw the original Achtung Baby tour and just saw the Achtung “re-do” at The Sphere in December. Both were phenomenal!

Please listen to this album from beginning to end offline & I promise you’ll be transported into a surreal musical universe. It’s my favorite album ever.

I suggest “Stuck in a Moment.” When I hear it, I end up singing it for the rest of the day.

When Love Comes To Town (feat. BB King) should be next. Also Desire is another you'll love. God Pt 11 has an amazing beat

It’s a shame you haven’t looked at U2 more. Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton on bass, and Larry Mullin on drums. Check out “Bullet the Blue Sky” if you’re brave enough.

This U2 song is perhaps the finest example of the way Bono uses double meanings in his lyrics. The song is inspired by the Oscar Wilde play Salome about Salome and John the Baptist. Salome dances in "Mysterious Ways" for the head of John the Baptist. Later, the song refers to the Holy Spirit as the nurturer., or the feminine side of God. "She'll be there when you it the ground." As the song is ending, if you listen closely, you can hear the lyrics change to "The Spirit moves in mysterious ways."

My favorite song of all their songs!!!

Straight up, this is my favorite song by U2!!!!! This is just a straight up banger of a song!!!!!

They are just so good! I saw them in concert multiple times. They are just amazing!! Every time I see them , I leave with such a spiritual feeling inside me,it’s just so amazing. It’s like such a natural high.

This was a great album and a complete change in direction after the misguided (but still brilliant in places) Rattle & Hum. The Fly was also on the Achtung Baby album and is my favourite U2 song ever.

This is by far the best groove in a U2 song!! My favorite 🎉

If you want emotion in Bono’s vocal you can’t go past A sort of homecoming from the Wide awake in America EP. Amazing song and poetic lyrics which ends in such a beautiful place.

This Era of U2 is my absolute Favorite, so many amazing songs (such as One, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Even Better Than the Real Thing) I could legit listen to this album, Achtung Baby From start to finish!

Amber, you are so sensitive, you can get so many details and nuances in a short period of time, absolutely amazing!

And of course I like all the latest stuff like you're talking about as well and I've seen them in concert three times. But anyway that was fun.

Achtung Baby is my favorite U2 album. It's of there best. Every song on it is a masterpiece.

To think that the bridge progression for “One” came out of an additional bridge for this song, which gave us the ‘90s masterpiece “Achtung Baby”.

The greatest rock band of the second half of the 1980s into the early 90s - in terms of hits, tours, and global influence. The only band at that time who could hold with them for stadium filling anthemic rock, was R.E.M. (possibly also Bon Jovi). GnR were up there too, but didn't have U2's longevity. Obviously the Stones were still touring in that time and were also great but they are the greatest rock and roll band! I don't count here solo artists with a band, like Bruce Springsteen. I saw U2 in 1984, 1985, 1993, and 1997. Always a fantastic live act. One of the best. And I've seen a lot. I would go this year but they are doing Wembley Stadium and being over 60 now, I'm kind of done with standing all day in a crowd of 80,000-100,000 (same with AC/DC this year, but have also seen them live various times) No-one makes better anthemic rock epics than U2. In recent times they've had a lot of flak, been called old corporate has-beens and past their best. Folks then knock them, but they've done it all in the rock music world, achieved all the highs, and produced a great back catalogue. And still great live I'm told. Also, despite their haters, they are still a band that tries to do good in the world.

It is hard not to think of early 90s MTV when hearing this song. U2 had some off the coolest music videos.

90s U2 is my favourite period from the band. Saw them on the PopMart Tour at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, 67,000 in attendance, amazing concert. Still got an inflatable lemon somewhere from that show.

Also U2 has a SICK BANGING BEAT in this song that overshadows the lyrics of the song. Who ever created the beat deserved a grammy for this.

When a band is as prolifically awesome as U2, it's sometimes hard to keep track of all their great songs. This is one that, if someone had asked me to name my favorite U2 songs, I would probably have forgotten to mention, but as soon as I'm reminded of it, I say, "oh yeah, I love that song!" Great reaction, you two. 🙂 You're also right that Bono is just a wonderful human being. I don't remember if I commented on this when you reacted to the Corrs, but he recorded a track with them called "When the Stars Go Blue" that is just beautiful. Gorgeous harmonies...I know you would love it. 🙂

You should check out 'In God's Country ' and 'Trip Through Your Wires'

First time I saw U2 and glimpse Bono, his hair then caught my attention, it reminded me of someone I knew. Been a fan ever since, love all their music.

❤❤Great reaction to one of my top 3 bands of all time. Their live concerts are awesome. Bono is also a Swiftie and every time she tours in Ireland he sends her roses and a special note.❤❤

This will always be one of my favorite U2 songs. 😁💖

This was their BEST ALBUM, definitely. Their previous, The Joshua Tree, was another absolute masterpiece, these guys were in a genuine musical SWEET SPOT around this time that definitely produced their very best work. If you want to experience more of their wild and wondrous 90s sound, you HAVE TO check out The Fly, that song is a genuine TRIP.

This tune proves that U2 can be funky when they want to be!
