oh wait, somedays are better than others is pretty good too. But it's definitely towards the bottom of U2s 'make a list of things' songs, compared to stuff like Hawkmoon or All I Want is You.

You have now professed to liking seven songs on a ten song record. All that's left is Babyface, Numb, and Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Cars. YOU CAN DO IT STIP. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I like Zooropa. I'd probably put it at 5 or so.
Achtung Joshua Tree Unforgettable Fire Pop or Atomic Bomb Zooropa
then there's a drop off. But the first three are amazing albums. Pop and Zoorpopa are uneven but have a lot of strong songs. Atomic Bomb is consistently good but derivative. I enjoy it (except for miracle drug) when I hear it, but I rarely feel compelled to listen.
Something about being able to genuinely laugh about the same people I'm also having this sort of internal, very emotional conversation with...it's just glorious to me.
In the case of U2, it's the way they push their grandiosity to the point of those hilariously stupid missteps, or to where Bono is actually more of a cartoon than any South Park cartoon making fun of him. I dunno. I just adore that shit.

Not anymore, really. The Stones skyrocketed on this last tour, didn't they? In 2009/2011 U2 was still like $70 for GA, $130 for most reserved, right? We'll see what they are next spring/summer, but I can't see them jumping to the level the Stones were at last year (in large part cause I can't see U2 abandoning the GA floors).

true story for you: Bono lived around the corner from me in NY and I used to see him all the time..One day he was walking towards me on the street and I said something to the tune of " hey, how about you stop trying to save the world and put on some free concerts here in the city"..he just laughed

I can't imagine how horribly and irreparably infected your smile-bladder must be, to respond to an image like that by seriously pondering ticket prices anywhere, to anything.
