No matter what anyone says about U2, "The Joshua Tree" and "Achtung Baby" are two of the best albums ever made

Joshua Tree is an all time great album. I forget about it at times but it’s in my top 25 for full albums. No need to fast forward or skip ANY SONGS which is nice. It’s great to sit and close your eyes to and relax and enjoy beautiful tunes.

"Where the Streets Have No Name(s)" references a longing for a place where people aren't put into boxes based on their street addresses. It was of particular interest during the sectarian civil war that went on in N. Ireland for decades. Someone could know that you were a Catholic or Protestant based on your address in places like Belfast, and the song is just wishing for a time when those sorts of divisions dissolve.

Welcome to U2. “In the name of love” is a beautiful rendition to the life of MLK. One of their top songs.

This is best heard live. When they do this live it is almost spiritual Great live band

It is rare that an album is perfect from start to finish, but the Joshua Tree from U2 is one of them.

U2 - I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

There's a reason why U2 became the world's most successful rock band, and this is one of those reasons. Their powerful lyrics, combined with their powerful melodies and instrumentals, and Bono's distinct vocal style, make for a unique blend of Irish-Global rock.

Check out 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'Vertigo' by U2. Be sure to check out the official music video for this song. The band performed downtown LA and it's an amazing video. Keep up the great work.

When I was. In college I wore this cd out. The whole album is great!

This song at the 2001 super bowl half time show live is the best ever hands down. A tribute to the victims of 9/11. A must watch.

So much to choose from U2. But definitely check out "One" " The Unforgettable fire" , " Bullet the blue sky" ,"Kite" and "With or Without you"

I saw these guys on this album. San Diego Sports Arena. 1987. Fresh out of Navy boot camp. Bono brought a girl up out of the audience and she did sign language to this very song. Definitely a memorable moment in my life.

guys where have you been you need to react to " Pride " by U2 written in 1984 Bono dedicated it to the reverand MLK

The video for this song had LA streets shut down as they filmed this on top of a small store in downtown, they had people all over drive in to try and see them!

There really is no more religious experience you can have than when you're in the crowd as U2 launch into this song live in concert. It feels like you're being taken to some higher plain of existence.

And "New Years Day", 'Gloria", "Its a beautiful Day", "Vertigo" etc etc.

U2 2002 SuperBowl half time show was awesome! And their 1985 Live Aid performance is a must watch.

U2 is a very deep and thought-provoking band. I highly recommend listening to pride, One, with or without you, vertigo, and sometimes you can't make it on your own

U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed in 1976. The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's chiming, effects-based guitar sounds. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several ambitious and elaborate tours over their career.

I love this song, and With or Without You, but my favorite off this album is Running to Stand Still.

I live outside of Reno, Nevada and in 1997 I went back to Minnesota (where I am from) to visit my older brothers and niece and nephews. One of my nephews was about 18 and I was 33, at the time and he surprised his Auntie with tickets to a U2 concert. Such a surprise, and absolutely a fantastic show.

In 1987, I saw U2 in concert (their "Joshua Tree" tour) at the old (long gone) Veterans Stadium with 90,000 people! U2 opened the concert with this song with the long intro. Incredible concert. I agree with others the "Joshua Tree" is one of the greatest albums of all time -- not a bad song on the entire album. Very powerful lyrics and music. Bono is an incredible songwriter or lyricist at least.

You have to check out " In The Name Of Love" by U2; its a tribute to Martin Luther King. A Little history of U2 they are from Ireland and many of their songs: especially their early songs in the early 80's spoke about the violence and struggle for peace in Ireland. One of the best Rock Bands of all time...seriously.

U2 is one of the greatest rock bands .. check out “One” .. or “With or Without You” they have so many hits you’ll have plenty to react to .. One of my country’s best exports ☘️🇮🇪😀👍

Great reaction. Absolutely love this song. The whole album is great. You might also want to listen to their song(I still haven’t found what I’m looking for).U2 what a great band.😀👍❤️✌️🌼

You should see the way Bono commonly develops the lyrics for their songs. The band plays the music and he starts by just making sounds. He then elevates those sounds to mumble/nonsense words. And he progresses to the point where it's a song with lyrics. It's kind of a cool process to see.

You won't have a complete appreciation for U2 without hearing, "In the Name of Love", dedicated to Martin Luther king. A legendary, classic group. 💕

“One” is a great song and also see it with Mary J Blige and U2. Also, The Joshua Tree is one of the best albums of all time IMO and personally love Running to Stand Still.

I'm surprised you guys didnt see the video of this song they did in downtown LA in 1986 on top of a liquor store with no permission from the authorities, getting shut down. The whole nation loved what they did.

U2 is another SUPER group with countless timeless songs. I think you would love the live version of any of their songs but "with or without you" live in Boston is fantastic. Shoot, this one live is unbelievable.. anything live for that matter. Their Superbowl performance at the Superbowl performance after 9/11 is a goosebumps kind of thing Thanks for another good one

U2 wrote this album in Joshua Tree California. The album is called Joshua Tree! 😁 With Or Without You is a good one to react to!!👏💜

Their Live Aid show in 1985 was incredible also. "Sunday Bloody Sunday",

U2 Sunday Bloody Sunday is great.

Sunday Bloody Sunday a must and still haven’t found what I’m looking for amazing live version

Their Superbowl performance is also one of the greats along with Prince's epic performance.

I can’t believe this is your first reaction to U2, but so glad you finally got around to them (you definitely need to go watch this music video, btw.) This is definitely a rabbit hole you could-SHOULD-fall down, since these school buddies from Dublin have been active since the late 70s, and are still touring (selling out huge stadiums) and putting out music in their early 60s now. They do put out a lot of music that has deep meaning to it, about a lot of social justice issues. I’ve also got to mention some things I personally like about these guys: they’ve managed to stay together as a band and as friends for practically 50 years now. No lineup changes or anything. And they are not known for living a wild, “rockstar” lifestyle- with groupies, etc. In fact, lead singer Bono (Paul Hewson) has been married to his high school sweetheart all this time, with no rumors of cheating or other bad behavior. By the way, this song specifically relates to ‘The Troubles’ in Northern Ireland. In Belfast, especially when this song was written in the ‘80s (before the fragile (and relative) peace that has been hanging on there for several decades now), Catholics did not go into certain parts of town- onto/past certain streets-and Protestants did not go into others. He’s saying he wants it to just be where it doesn’t matter, where you can walk through any neighborhood and it shouldn’t matter whether you’re this or that, it shouldn’t be something that would get people killed.

They performance of this at the Super Bowl in 2002 is still one of the greatest, and most emotional, things I've ever experienced. You really need to check it out if you've never seen it - but be prepared to cry.

U2 had a incredible evolution from this straight into.. in my opinion the heaviest live show I ever seen...... The Zoo TV tour.

The edge - the most unique sounding guitarist ever.

Best part of a U2 concert is this song. So much fun live.

I like how Edge's guitar work increases intensity as the song moves forward. From their 1987 Joshua Tree album. I think it was their best work, the album is a masterpiece. Every song flows to the next, they're all good.

Brilliant song brilliant band who deserve to be at the top of the pecking listening order as there still giving to this day and began in the mid 70s in my opinion the most influential live band of all time but of coarse the no1 spot belongs to Elvis as he was near perfect vocally live&studio just as u2 extremely brilliant live&studio,as a matter of fact the drummer who formed the band (Larry Mullen Jnr)is a mega Elvis fan and its easy to see as he's as humble as Elvis also was,thanks for your listening reaction an welcome to the U2 family

make sure to give "Pride (In the name of Love) a listen on your U2 journey. It's about mlk jr. so many bangers, they exploded in the mid 80's and released a couple of absolutely must have albums - "The Joshua Tree" and "Rattle and Hum" no record collection is complete without them

New Year's Day is a great song with a powerful message. They have a ton of great songs.

U2 had an unusual streak of 6 albums that were all really good and even legendary. "October" to "Achtung baby" was pretty special for a band.

Morning Asia an BJ, Please react to the live performance of this epic song from their concert at Slane Castle in Ireland 2002. Streets with no Name transitions beautifully from With or Without you so please watch the performance from the start of that song, it will blow your mind and the crowd and atmosphere was simply amazing, just wish I was there. TC from Australia, I really enjoy your reactions.

I love that you listened to the music alone first (with lyrics). For another fun time, watch the official music video for this song. It's…exciting. :)

I’m going to mention one more thing about this band. I like all kinds of high quality music. This is years ago and I really don’t remember the exact tour. It might have been an anniversary tour, like 30? Not sure, anyway it was QUEENSRYCHE in one of those old American ornate theatres that are just beautiful and cool to see a Rock band in. Long time U2 fan and big time QUEENSRYCHE fan. Never saw U2 but QUEENSRYCHE, ended up to 21 times live. This was one of them. They played 2 or 3 songs and went into the unmistakable U2 drum intro of Bullet the Blue Sky! I freaked out and yelled in my friends ear, That’s Bullet the Blue Sky! It’s my favourite U2 song and now QUEENSRYCHE was doing their cover of it! I couldn’t believe it! I will never forget how cool that was.

Yo, what's up, Asia and BJ? Great reaction video to one of my All Time Favorite bands, U2! Have been following U2 since 1982 and have seen them Live in Concert 4 times! Please check out their Super Bowl Half Time Show after the events of 9/11/01. Their Live Shows are Amazing!!! Another great live performance of U2 is at Live Aid July 13, 1995! Incredible Performance!!! Thank you So Much for your Channel! God bless both of you. Take Care. Much Love And Respect. ✌

SO glad you two found U2. They are really wonderful. I hope you do more. They are a band in which you can't go wrong with any song. They are one of my favorite bands and Bono is a favorite lyricist and voices. Down the rabbit hole you gooooooo :0)

My #4 all time song is”With or Without You” by U2. It’s a better song than this one if you believe me. The live Slane Castle version is the best version if you ask me.

This, 'Bad' and 'Sort of Homecoming' are my faves from them

HEAVEN. My Mother In Law Just Went There Last Week; Very Sad, but She was a Woman with Unwavering Faith! We Love You! RIP Joan B.

Y'all have to check out Skid Row " I Remember You" Official Video and " 18 and Life" Sebastian Bach has such amazing vocals !!

You should have reacted to the official video of this song. It's very very good. U2 is one of the best bands in history, with great musicians, all of them, and with a lead singer, Bono, who has a very good voice and an absolutely magnetic personality.

Love 💕 U2 , had the pleasure seeing them Live ! My favourite songs are “Bullet the blue sky “& All I want is you ( love this song Bono dedicated this to his childhood sweetheart & Wife Ali ….she’s a amazing beautiful wife of Bono been by his side since high school….

U2 - Joshua Tree is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Maybe the greatest song ever written…and I’m a metal head. Good stuff, you two.

Legendary Irish band. They were a big hit in American as well in the 80s-90s

Live! This song has to be heard and vowed live! The way they transition into it in concert is like an out of body experience. Check out The Zoo TV version from Sydney or the Slane Castle version.

This was massive back in the Mtv days

U2 are among the gods of Rock n' Roll...................this song makes me cry.........it's about "Paradise or Heaven." Makes me cry!!! "Still Have Not Found What I'm Looking For" by U2

I live in the US southwest, and Joshua Tree remains my anthem for any road trips I might take across it. To me the album encompasses the feel of the area like no other I have heard in 30+ years of loving the desert.

The live version of Silver & Gold will change your life. Stunning.

The music video for this song would be a good reaction too.

There's a video where they are in Vegas singing on a roof top stopped traffic. It's really missing something without seeing them live. Also they sing with BB King When Love Comes to Town. These guys are poets.

Need to react to their live performance at Red Rock. Any song there. Incredible live band.

watch anything from the live show in Boston from 2001, best concert ever

Still remember U2 re-opening up the Louisiana Superdome, after Hurricane Katrina…..It was pretty incredible…..

Saw U2 in Ottawa, Canada in 1986 in front of only 10,000 fans ... my brother saw them maybe 6 years earlier at a bar in Ottawa in front of only 300 fans ... lucky him.

U2 was the biggest band in the world for almost 20 years. Still going

I was born in 86 the fact you guys never heard U2 until now amazes me tbh. My dad is a huge fan of this band and I grew up on them. They have some of the most amazing songs. This is a band thats 3000 times better live.

Do a KZfaq search for U2 Tempe Where the Streets Have No Name and you will find one of the great live intros to any rock concert ever. Just an incredible video from the year in which they became the best rock band in the world.

You have encountered one of the greatest bands of all time. "40" as well as "Seconds" are two songs I feel that you will love.

Please also check out their half-time show for Super Bowl 36 (which was after 9/11). They did an excellent job (IMO) paying tribute tp those who lost their lives that day. They did their song Beautiful Day and then Where the Streets Have No Name.

If you'd like to see what is perhaps the single event that launched U2 to legit global stardom, watch the performance of the song Bad, at Live Aid, July 1985 (a few weeks after I graduated from high school). The video on KZfaq is 12 minutes long but worth every moment. By way of background, U2 has 14 studio albums, over 150 million sold globally and has won 22 grammys, more than any other band in history. Obviously that stuff is Wikipedia info, but it's nice to be reminded just how significant this band is. As an aside, one of the prizes of my modest collection of signed music memorabilia is a fully signed copy of Joshua Tree, signed on the inside gatefold. It's a work of art.

Just listening to this relaxes me. My husband and I have been married for over 38 years. If only… we could get away to nowhere for a week, we would be able to reconnect to what’s really important. We live in the Texas hill country outside of Austin. Camping suits me just fine. We used to go camping with our kids when they were little. But the snakes. They’re everywhere here. So no camping for me unless it’s in the dead of winter. And that wouldn’t be pleasant either. There has to be a way. Ugh. Love this song. Remember when this album came out. Not a bad song on it. Thanks for the react!

“The Joshua Tree” (in my personal opinion) is the single greatest album of all time. Super powerful. There is not a single track on that album that you can go wrong with.

I just commented on your "Bullet The Blue Sky" reaction 👏You need to see the amazing video for this (inc. in their 'Rattle & Hum' documentary) - shot in LA on 7th and main, from a rooftop - they performed it LIVE, with no promo or advertising - people literally flocked onto the 'streets'! It caused CHAOS - 1,000's people on the ground and folks hanging out their windows to watch! Cops tried to shut it down - but U2 went ahead & gave an legendary performance! Peace from Ireland☘️

I love your reactions when you play the songs I grew up with and seeing the looks of satisfaction on your faces. Makes me feel good. Keep up the good work.

The opening track of one the best albums ever recorded if not the best. A true classic masterpiece.

You guys should watch their impromptu video version of this song live on a San Francisco downtown rooftop. It’s a thing that the BEATLES made famous. Still, it’s a great video and they didn’t have city permission to do it. Nobody knew about it until they started playing from up there. They were maybe 3 to 5 stories up and people below on the street started looking up and gathering. Once word got out, it was a big event and the police took notice and shut them down, In a nice way. Because it was illegal to do without permission, they had to shut them down. Of course the band knew this and did it anyway for effect. One of their very best videos. Great band. For a time, they were easily the biggest band in the world. Got some really great songs, just take your pick.

SO MANY great songs on this album. Lately I've been jamming to "Running To Stand Still" and "Red Hill Mining Town."

Now that you guys have seen this version you have GOT to check out the other one where they are on top of a one story liquor store in downtown L.A. performing this song🔥🔥🔥 It's so cool! They pretty much shut down that part of town for blocks performing on that building. It is so 🔥🔥🔥

When I was little growing up in the 80s I heard U2 non stop no regrets

Im not gonna go on and on about how amazing this band is only that you should’ve watched the official video!!! I hope you see it eventually.

Ps, I saw them live during Joshua Tree… wow. I’ve seen a ton of live shows including Led Zeppelin in the 70s. U2, hands down, best ever. It was like a religious experience.

u2 are from ireland and the lead singer, Bono wrote this in reaction where in ireland you can tell peoples financial postion by what street they live on, so if the streets have no name then everyone is equal

I was at the U2 Rattle and Hum movie/concert in 1987 at ASU where a friend was attending school. Joshua Tree is an amazing album but the entire Achtung Baby album is a masterpiece - tracks 4, 5 and 6 are among the most poetically tragic love songs ever written, the album is very uplifting as well with songs like One and Ultraviolet. The last time I saw U2 was for the Pop album tour where Rage Against The Machine opened for them, amazing show both bands. I like the Pop album okay, If God Will Send His Angels is the best track from that album imo. I've seen them 3 times, always a great show with U2.

U 2 Is one of the Greatest Rock Bands Ever!!! Glad You Glad Please listen to more9 like “Sunday Bloody Sunday” a Early Classic it’s a song about a bombing in Ireland

You MUST see them live. They are masters of live performance. I really enjoyed this reaction. Thanks for your sincerity. 💜

Now that a group we could choose about twenty five great songs. Right AJ they are very smooth instrumentalist and a great lead. Quality was always in with U2

I would have to say that I highly recommend you doing All I Want is You and Where the Streets Have No Name from the Slane Castle concert. It happened on the heels of the death of Bono's father and you can see his primal cries during the transition of one song to another.

Sunday Bloody Sunday and With or Without You are both great.

This song makes me cry every time I hear it.

Great song for your intro to U2!

You need to see a live version --- Super Bowl halftime show in 2002 is especially good.

LIVE,LIVE,LIVE LIVE you have to see this performed live it’s a whole different incredible experience

The story is that where these guys grew up in Ireland you could tell if someone was catholic or protestant based on the name of the street where they lived. This song longs for a place where that doesn’t matter.
