My favorite U2 songs

I’m probably a bit too young to be considered a diehard U2 fan. I was only seven when Joshua Tree came out. I didn’t listen to Joshua Tree. I couldn’t. I was a kid in Soviet Moscow. They didn’t play Where the Street Have no Name on the radio. There were no music radio stations in the Soviet Union.

I discovered U2 in 1993.

This song from 1993 blew my mind and it’s the cradle of my creativity

Decades later I still love U2. I can’t imagine not buying a new U2 record. I am not conservative at all. I love different genres and I listen to many young artists across different genres.

But I love U2!

Today I was listening to Alexa streaming my Apple music playlist. A few U2 songs played so I thought I’d write a story about my favorite U2 songs!

• One. It’s never easy to mention an overplayed song as one of your favorites. But One is a masterpiece. A call for love and unity and a song full of pain too.
• So Cruel from Achtung Baby. So much pain in this long song. I never fast-forward it. Never.
• Landlady from Song of Experience. One of the best, most poetic love songs ever.
• You Can’t Make it on Your Own from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. I love this song because, well, you can’t make it on your own.
