They might be the most successful band in history that’s also the most misunderstood. I try to get past the hype, the personality, and the mischaracterizations, and go straight for the music. I also go through their entire discography, and end with a few big takeaways, some of which might surprise you. Are you a U2 fan? If so, have you been able to follow them through all their changes and despite any media backlash? If you’re not a fan, did you used to be & aren’t anymore, or did you never like them? What do you think most defines them as a band? Discuss dammit! ~~~ *intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
