U2 are from Ireland... Formed in the 70's by friends in school, U2 emerged from Dublin as a pop rock band and released their debut album 'Boy' in 1980... The line-up is still the same 4 guys - Bono (Hewson, lead vocals), The Edge (David Evans, guitar & keys), Adam Clayton (bass) and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums)... U2 became famous on MTV and radio by their 3rd album 'War' in 1983 and 4th album 'The unforgettable fire' in 1984... both selling multi-platinum in the US and Europe. U2 were launched into superstardom in 1987 w/ their 5th album 'The Joshua Tree'... an album inspired by America. It sold 10 million copies in the US, 25 million worldwide... w/ massive hits like - 'With or without you' ... 'Where the streets have no name' ... 'Bullet the blue sky' ... "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"... A companion album 'Rattle and Hum' was released during the 'Joshua Tree' tour... w/ the hits - 'Desire' ... 'Angel of Harlem... It sold another 5x platinum in the US. After a break, U2 struggled to write a new album but eventually delivered a modern pop rock album 'Achtung baby' in 1991... w/ the massive hits - 'Even better than the real thing' ... 'One' ... 'Mysterious ways' ... 'The Fly'... It sold 8x platinum in the US as U2 launched a massive 'Zoo TV' tour in stadiums to promote the album and released a companion album 'Zooropa' in 1993. U2 hoped to return w/ a new album and tour in 1997... But problems emerged. The album 'Pop' was delayed and turned out somewhat musically shaky... It failed to sell up to expectations (1 million copies in the US) and U2 were not properly rehearsed for the hyped 'Pop Mart' tour and so, the band experienced falling album sales and lower ticket sales as a result. Disheartened by the response to the 'Pop' album, U2 vowed to deliver a great album or call it a day... In 2000, U2 returned to their classic sound on the album "All that you can't leave behind"... and it was a huge success selling 4x platinum in the US w/ the hits - 'Beautiful day'... "Elevation" ... 'Walk on'... U2 launched a successful 'Elevation' world tour to support the album. U2 returned in 2004 w/ "How to dismantle an atomic bomb"... which sold 3x platinum w/ the hits - 'Vertigo' ... 'City of blinding lights'... Later albums by U2 have not quite had the same commercial impact but the band is still playing arenas and stadiums worldwide on the strength and demand of their catalog of music.
@JeffSelf My bad. I worked both shows. On the first night I worked outside, backstage by the trucks and busses. Second night on the second floor upstage right to prevent fans jumping on to the stage from the seats. BoDeans opened up for U2 both nights and then I helped the local union load the Band and the crew out
I LOVE U2!!! LOVE YOUR REACTIONS. HERE ARE SOME MORE SONGS. AGAIN, LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 😊 - Every Breaking Wave (Acoustic Sessions) - Song for Someone - Beautiful Day - Pride (in the name of love) - Bullet the blue sky - Bad - Running to stand still - City of blinding lights Etc... You won't be disappointed 😊👍🎸🎙️🎼🎵🎶🥁🎵🎼
I was in 7th grade when this song came out. I had heard of U2 and like a couple of their songs. This song blew me away and they’ve been my favorite band ever since I heard it for 37 years. They are a great band and absolutely amazing live. Best live band ever. I highly recommend watching live performances from The Joshua Tree, Zoo TV and Elevation tours
Four songs on my fav U2 songs... Where the Streets Have No Name, Bad - Live at Live Aid, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and Love Comes to Town with U2 and BB King. That just is the tip of their iceberg. First time I saw them live was after their first hit came out called I Will Follow and they were the opening act for the J Geils Band.
U2 are legends. Definitely check out "Pride (In the Name of Love)" what a great song! Also "Where the Streets Have No Name", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
Oh you have so many amazing songs from this irish band - one of the biggest bands ever. And yeah, you are so right saying "-Can we go back!?" So right! They made music back then...thought through, melodies and fantastic energy! Cheers from Sweden.
I was in high school when this album was released and although I was already a huge fan of U2, I was blown away by it. In my top 10 albums of all time...
They became easy to sh*t on in the 2000s but its good to see someone from the new generation not influenced by the pile on to see them for what they are, an excellent band.
… I’ve been a huge, lifelong U2 fan! WOWY has always been ‘top self’ in U2’s catalog, no question. My three suggestions I think you’d vibe with, and enjoy hearing: 1. From their ‘War’ album, Surrender. 2. From Achtung Baby, Tryin’ to Throw Your Arms Around the World 3. From No Line On the Horizon, Magnificent. … an added bonus, lol! and a song that no one ever mentions, but for me, it’s my “all time favorite” U2 song, from The Unforgettable Fire album, Elvis Presley and America. Enjoy!!
U2 list of awesome songs is endless but i do recommend One, Pride, and Where The Streets Have No Name. They were huge during the 80's, 90's and 00's. Bono is a Top5 frontman of all time. I attended a U2 concert post 9/11 and its the BEST concert ever I went too. It still gives me goose bumps talking about it especially when they projected all the names of the fallen NYPD & NYFD.
U2 played at UMASS in March 1982, my senior year of undergrad, and they rocked the place. We were lucky and had some great musical acts during my four years. Allman Brothers, Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Grateful Dead among others.
U2 Joshua Tree album was HUGE! GLORIA was the song that introduced them in the early 80s..... Unforgettable Fire song and album...... BAD is a phenomenal song, written about an addict friend..... Beautiful Day also great.... Zoo TV and Achtung Baby albums 👍🏻👍🏻
Data is nice but SPOCK! 🙌 U2 was the hugest band from the 80's to 2000's. Once I got into them.. They're Irish and are very into humanitarian aid. Try "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" which was inspired by MLK and "I Still Haven't Found what I Am Looking For You". ❤❤
Irish band big in the 80's and even bigger in the 90's. I was fortunate to have seen them in Madrid for the Joshua Tree concert in '87 when I was 15- an amazing experience. I would rate The Joshua Tree, (the album containing this song), as the best album of the 80's, imo. Be sure to check out Rattle and Hum as well as the rest of their catalog- lots to love.
Respectfully...Gosh Damn, baby. 😵💚 Now, that I got my 👀 back in my head, listen to ONE by them, and/or their song BAD on Live Aid. "You're Welcome" for both suggestions, sweetheart.
Great band and song. They're from Ireland. Btw, this is a perfect song to slow dance to. They were huge in the 80's and into the 90's then came back in the 2000's. They have many hits, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" "Desire" "The Unforgettable Fire" "Where The Streets Have No Name" " I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" to name a few. I highly suggest Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds "Bartender" live at Radio City Music Hall from a 2007 concert. It was sold out. I think you'll love that one.
If you liked the vibe of this tune, I would check out 1. Stay (far away so close), 2. Running to Stand Still, 3. One (Official video)/ You could also check their full set out at Live Aid. U2 have been my fav band since I was a kid. Big influence on me. They have a massive catalogue of tunes.
I'm glad you can appreciate music like this. My favorite U2 songs are this one and "Pride (In the Name of Love)." Also, I bet you would really enjoy a song by Queensryche called "Silient Lucidity."
Great band, they do huge stadium shows that would blow you away, do the great tune, End of the World, live in Paris 2015, it is an immersive experience with incredible videos enhancing the banger of a Rocker! They have many great songs to react to, enjoy beautiful Mia. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥 I love Data from Star Trek, too. Worf is another I love...
Data, from New generation is my favorite as well.. Brent in my opinion is a phenomenal actor. The way he gave data character is just absolutely out of this world
Yeah the guitar was a prop Mia but he does actually know how to play the guitar and he’s very good at the harmonica too. Their lead guitarist “ the edge” plays with some of the greatest emotion you’ll ever see.
This song was on a soundtrack for a movie in 1994 Blown Away. Bono comes to Omaha Nebraska all time to see Warren Buffett he performed at one of Warren family members funeral one year.
Honey the 1960s, 1970s and, most of the 1980s had the greatest music of all time. Facts. Such a great reaction Sweetie. I am now a subscriber to your channel! Keep up the great work/reactions! 😊😊👍👍
Had this cassette on my Sony Walkman back in 88 and had the fortune of seeing them live in the Omni. What great memories and the Joshua Tree album as whole is great listening. No song is badd on that album
I'm guessing i first saw the video on MTV (music TV) when this was released in 1987. I was 10 and several train stops away from NYC. In the upstate countryside. A time when kids used to play outside all day! Back then we could kick back and watch MTV to pass the time where all these great music videos you react to would be curated and played for us. Now, we have to search for it on our own which is not quite the same. I'm glad I got to witness this music come out in the moment rather than decades later. It was really awesome...!
I was enjoying my last Spring and Summer before going off to Bootcamp. Good song, one played way too many times when I was overseas, losing the one I left behind. Deployments, always a good source for reason to play all these 80s ballads.
It’s a unique and excellent rock ballad. The band hails from Dublin, Ireland. Been together for decades with no lineup changes. Many years ago I heard this song at a New Year’s Eve party. As soon as it began, the girls there started screaming. It’s also the only song I ever sang to a girl, in a lower range. The album this is off of is amazing. (And surprised you mentioned Lt. Data. My fave ST:TNG character, too, and used to watch that show with my family.)
...hear this n think of a women from years ago. Definitely great love song but it's not unicorns n rainbows. Divides your mind yaknow. That agonizing love
This is a phenominal song by them. I hope everyone gets to go through a U2 musical phase in their life, and see what joy thier music brought and still brings to the world. I had to find this video of them from the 80's. I love this this song even more, but your choice was a fantastic introduction song to your ears. I love their vocals as much as their instrumental talent. He and others from the band are Irish. ua-cam.com/video/GzZWSrr5wFI/v-deo.html (enjoy Mia). The main guitarist of U2 like Slash is to Guns and Roses, he is called The Edge.
Do “all I want is you/where the streets have no name” live from slane castle. Bono’s dad died a a couple days earlier and they still did the show in Ireland.
U2 was great on the 80's and 90's. You have enough songs from the 80's in other comments. In the 90's the whole Achtung Baby album (The Fly, Mysterious Ways, One, Until the end of the world...), the ZooTV tour or songs as Faraway so close... and in the 2000's Beautiful Day or Vertigo
I remember sitting on a beach in Maui, alone at night, listening to this song for the first time. Was such an unreal moment. Really wild considering I was alone just watching the shoreline.
'Where the streets have no name' and 'Party girl'. I know they've got a lot of others but these are my favorites. And an off topic rec: Hoobastank - 'The reason' And yeah, when this came out (1987), I just finished high school.
I am not a big fan of U2 but I love you 😘 still waiting for LED ZEPPELIN ❤ I promise you are going to love them! Trust me they will become one of your favorites❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction and yes it was a definitely a different time for music and all the bands, I lived in ft Lauderdale FL and every week was a concert, but that wasn't even the best thing. Guys all with long hair, the ladies with the puffy hair,high schools all had future Rock stars, there was a line of storage units by the airport where every school night throughout the week the bands would practice it was a concert everyday of the week plus who you thought was a better band you go to to the house they were playing on Saturday, Friday was fot real bands like areosmith, foreigner, journey ,bad company,stixx, John cougar, Alice Cooper, Bob seger, AC/DC we were able to see these bands two or three times depending if you had 10 dollars the usual price for a ticket those were a different time,
As u wish ….. Most of the diehard, U2 fans will probably tell you that there were other songs than what I’m going to list. But, from the standpoint of being - somewhat a fan of U2, the following list is partial, but it starts with what I believe was U2’s first hit. Then, I list a few of their hits chronologically - New Year’s Day was the first song that made me pay attention to them. If you watch or react to the official video, they filmed it in Sweden, in the winter. It was freezing cold and Swedish women were hired to ride the horses because U2’s insurance would not cover them for any potential injury. Even though the girls are Swedes and somewhat used to this extreme cold, I’m sure they were very uncomfortable: - I WILL FOLLOW - NEW YEARS DAY - SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY - (this song u just reacted to) - I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR - WHERE THE SREETS HAVE NO NAME This takes you up through 1987 but, they created music into the 2000’s.
U2 was an Irish rock band from the 1980’s. Many great songs listed in the comments to choose from to react to. The lead singer Bono is one of the best front men.
This was released in 1987, so I was a freshman in high school. I was probably playing Nintendo more than likely. For U2, I would recommend One, Pride (In the Name of Love), and Where the Streets Have No Name.
How many actual BANDS do we have today? U2 is one of the All Time great bands. VERY Irish. I feel like their older stuff is better, they had more passion. They're so good, they've actually got TWO versions of a song called "One", and both are amazing. The Edge is a distinctive, unique guitar player, and Bono always has something interesting to say. They tend to have a pro-faith attitude in a lot of their works. Check out "Rattle and Hum", and "When Love Comes to Town" for a fun vibe, and then "Sunday Bloody Sunday" to get serious for a moment.
U2 song suggestions; New year's day One All I want is you/streets have no name live 2001 slane castle Love is blindness live from zoo tv from Sydney Please live at mtv music award Kite live from boston There are countless other great songs and live performances. Just a few spanning their career to get you started.
Helluva good list with these Irishmen (before even getting into the albums): "Beautiful Day," "Mysterious Ways," "One," and especially a song by the name of "Pride (In the Name of Love)." Oh, and: yes, it was all *way better* in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. :) It just was. I wasn't there, but a lot of '60s music is pretty tight too...
Haha, I was probably still playing with Lego's or Nintendo when this song came out. Or terrorizing a babysitter somewhere. I am glad you get to enjoy U2- thank you for sharing your reaction and your good vibes!
You should check out there performance of the song ‘Bad’ during the Live Aid concert when the whole world was watching- that performance shot them into super star status.
Data is also my favourite ever Star Trek character. Loved your reaction! "i still haven't found what i'm looking for" and "Beautiful Day" would be my next suggestions for U2
They filmed "where the streets have no name" on top of a liquor store in Los Angeles....totally shut down that intersection. Cops came n had to shut it down
U should watch them live were Bono the lead singer will pull an audience member up with him on stage and sing with her..... I believe Chicago to the same song or Try Mysterious ways live
Lots of suggestions here already, but you need to check them out live. No record version has ever held a candle to their live performance. Start with All I Want is You/Where the Streets Have No Name from Slane Castle and you’ll see right away
Love your reactions and your style too. I would absolutely love to see and hear your reactions to ALL TNT Boys covers starting with "Flashlight" then their 3 performances from "The World's Best" tell me what you think 😉😊👍🏽
There a lot differrent song very good from them. Similar of this (look at the live in boston 2001) is "One" and "Walk on", fater are "Beautiful day" "New Year's day" for example.
If you liked this, there are a few others you need to check out by them: One Vertigo Stay (Faraway So Close) If God Will Send His Angels I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For Mysterious Ways Desire Gloria Miss Sarajevo That's just kind of a friendly starter pack...
Good question Mia. That's the year I graduated high school. It was probably the most fun, busy, and formative in my life. Doubt you want to know the details because it would take too long to read 😏
GREAT reaction! I have enjoyed watching you react to music of all genres from my generation!!! Notification bell ON! REQUEST! Official Video of Prince - Purple Rain Live at Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY on March 30, 1985. It’s kind of long because it’s epic…but worth every second. I guess you could edit the reaction but you will definitely MELT. The song is slow but so beautiful. Maybe on a day you need something mellow. CHEERS!
They re from ireland The 60's, the 70', the 80's, the 90's where times when music were made by artists. Since then music is made by producer who are just all about money.

I was working U2 JOSHUA TREE TOUR DEC 09TH AND 10TH 1986 SECURITY AT THE HAMPTON COLISEUM IN VIRGINIA
I was there! But it was 12/11 and 12/12 of 1987.
@JeffSelf My bad. I worked both shows. On the first night I worked outside, backstage by the trucks and busses. Second night on the second floor upstage right to prevent fans jumping on to the stage from the seats. BoDeans opened up for U2 both nights and then I helped the local union load the Band and the crew out

I grew up listening to 70's and 80's music. Im 57 now and that was a great time to be alive! 😁😎🤘
U2 are legends. Definitely check out "Pride (In the Name of Love)" what a great song!
Also "Where the Streets Have No Name", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
U2 been a awesome band from the start, even today still jamming yeah 👌😎👍🎤🥁🎸🎸
U2 one, pride in the name of love, Drowning man, with or whitout you, unforgettable fire, stay faraway so close,
Oh you have so many amazing songs from this irish band - one of the biggest bands ever. And yeah, you are so right saying "-Can we go back!?" So right! They made music back then...thought through, melodies and fantastic energy! Cheers from Sweden.
They were huge band for decades. You should listen to as much as can Mia. These guys are multi grammy winning legends
I was in high school when this album was released and although I was already a huge fan of U2, I was blown away by it. In my top 10 albums of all time...
They became easy to sh*t on in the 2000s but its good to see someone from the new generation not influenced by the pile on to see them for what they are, an excellent band.
… I’ve been a huge, lifelong U2 fan! WOWY has always been ‘top self’ in U2’s catalog, no question. My three suggestions I think you’d vibe with, and enjoy hearing: 1.

U2 Joshua Tree album was HUGE! GLORIA was the song that introduced them in the early 80s..... Unforgettable Fire song and album...... BAD is a phenomenal song, written about an addict friend..... Beautiful Day also great.... Zoo TV and Achtung Baby albums 👍🏻👍🏻
Data is nice but SPOCK! 🙌 U2 was the hugest band from the 80's to 2000's. Once I got into them.. They're Irish and are very into humanitarian aid. Try "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" which was inspired by MLK and "I Still Haven't Found what I Am Looking For You". ❤❤
U2 was one of the bands that OWNED the 80's..... They are still producing relevant music and were the first band to open "The Sphere" in Las Vegas
U2 is a great band. There live performances are amazing.
The Joshua Tree is one of the most seminal albums, not just of the 80’s, but ever
Irish band big in the 80's and even bigger in the 90's. I was fortunate to have seen them in Madrid for the Joshua Tree concert in '87 when I was 15- an amazing experience. I would rate The Joshua Tree, (the album containing this song), as the best album of the 80's, imo. Be sure to check out Rattle and Hum as well as the rest of their catalog- lots to love.
Respectfully...Gosh Damn, baby. 😵💚
Now, that I got my 👀 back in my head, listen to ONE by them, and/or their song BAD on Live Aid.
"You're Welcome" for both suggestions, sweetheart.
Great band and song. They're from Ireland. Btw, this is a perfect song to slow dance to. They were huge in the 80's and into the 90's then came back in the 2000's. They have many hits, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" "Desire" "The Unforgettable Fire" "Where The Streets Have No Name" " I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" to name a few. I highly suggest Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds "Bartender" live at Radio City Music Hall from a 2007 concert. It was sold out. I think you'll love that one.
One of my favorite U2 songs my very favorite U2 song is Beautiful Day
If you liked the vibe of this tune, I would check out 1. Stay (far away so close), 2. Running to Stand Still, 3. One (Official video)/ You could also check their full set out at Live Aid. U2 have been my fav band since I was a kid. Big influence on me. They have a massive catalogue of tunes.
Love this song
U2's connection to New Zealand because of Greg Carroll will never be forgotten. Moe Moe Ra.
Joshua Tree would be in mosts top 20 albums of all time. Masterpiece
Music from 1964 (Beatles) to 1994 (End of Grunge) is solid gold my dear, there is much from each decade to blow your mind!
I'm glad you can appreciate music like this. My favorite U2 songs are this one and "Pride (In the Name of Love)." Also, I bet you would really enjoy a song by Queensryche called "Silient Lucidity."
Great Irish band , that and the song 0ne are 2 of my favourites .
Great band, they do huge stadium shows that would blow you away, do the great tune, End of the World, live in Paris 2015, it is an immersive experience with incredible videos enhancing the banger of a Rocker! They have many great songs to react to, enjoy beautiful Mia. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶🔥

You really should watch U2 at Live Aid 1985 concert. You will get to see why they are so loved.
The music reflects the mindset of the generation.
Do “all I want is you/where the streets have no name” live from slane castle. Bono’s dad died a a couple days earlier and they still did the show in Ireland.
I was in college when this came out. My favorite U2 song is “New Years Day”.
I have never been a bigger ACDC fan than now
Lighting bolt.
U2 was great on the 80's and 90's. You have enough songs from the 80's in other comments. In the 90's the whole Achtung Baby album (The Fly, Mysterious Ways, One, Until the end of the world...), the ZooTV tour or songs as Faraway so close... and in the 2000's Beautiful Day or Vertigo
I remember sitting on a beach in Maui, alone at night, listening to this song for the first time. Was such an unreal moment. Really wild considering I was alone just watching the shoreline.
Hey glad you came across them...great live performers. Check them out at slane castle in their native Ireland. Also helloooo from south Florida
I still love you even though you gave yourself to someone else. With or without you I still love you boo
'Where the streets have no name' and 'Party girl'. I know they've got a lot of others but these are my favorites.
And an off topic rec: Hoobastank - 'The reason'
And yeah, when this came out (1987), I just finished high school.
I am not a big fan of U2 but I love you 😘 still waiting for LED ZEPPELIN ❤ I promise you are going to love them! Trust me they will become one of your favorites❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction and yes it was a definitely a different time for music and all the bands, I lived in ft Lauderdale FL and every week was a concert, but that wasn't even the best thing. Guys all with long hair, the ladies with the puffy hair,high schools all had future Rock stars, there was a line of storage units by the airport where every school night throughout the week the bands would practice it was a concert everyday of the week plus who you thought was a better band you go to to the house they were playing on Saturday, Friday was fot real bands like areosmith, foreigner, journey ,bad company,stixx, John cougar, Alice Cooper, Bob seger, AC/DC we were able to see these bands two or three times depending if you had 10 dollars the usual price for a ticket those were a different time,
As u wish …..
Most of the diehard, U2 fans will probably tell you that there were other songs than what I’m going to list.
But, from the standpoint of being - somewhat a fan of U2, the following list is partial, but it starts with what I believe was U2’s first hit.
Then, I list a few of their hits chronologically - New Year’s Day was the first song that made me pay attention to them.
If you watch or react to the official video, they filmed it in Sweden, in the winter.
It was freezing cold and Swedish women were hired to ride the horses because U2’s insurance would not cover them for any potential injury.
Even though the girls are Swedes and somewhat used to this extreme cold, I’m sure they were very uncomfortable:
- I WILL FOLLOW
- NEW YEARS DAY
- SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY
- (this song u just reacted to)
- I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
- WHERE THE SREETS HAVE NO NAME
This takes you up through 1987 but, they created music into the 2000’s.
U2 was an Irish rock band from the 1980’s. Many great songs listed in the comments to choose from to react to. The lead singer Bono is one of the best front men.
The video of them playing "Where the Streets Have No Name" live in L.A. is amazing. recommended.
U2- Still haven’t found what I’m looking for /
Pride (in the name of love)
This was released in 1987, so I was a freshman in high school. I was probably playing Nintendo more than likely. For U2, I would recommend One, Pride (In the Name of Love), and Where the Streets Have No Name.
How many actual BANDS do we have today? U2 is one of the All Time great bands. VERY Irish. I feel like their older stuff is better, they had more passion. They're so good, they've actually got TWO versions of a song called "One", and both are amazing. The Edge is a distinctive, unique guitar player, and Bono always has something interesting to say. They tend to have a pro-faith attitude in a lot of their works. Check out "Rattle and Hum", and "When Love Comes to Town" for a fun vibe, and then "Sunday Bloody Sunday" to get serious for a moment.
pride in the name of love by u2 is a great song
U2 song suggestions;
New year's day

All I want is you/streets have no name live 2001 slane castle

There are countless other great songs and live performances. Just a few spanning their career to get you started.
Helluva good list with these Irishmen (before even getting into the albums): "Beautiful Day," "Mysterious Ways," "One," and especially a song by the name of "Pride (In the Name of Love)."
Oh, and: yes, it was all *way better* in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. :) It just was. I wasn't there, but a lot of '60s music is pretty tight too...
Just imagine being a young kid it was so cool.
60's 70,'s the best music
The lead singer's name is Bono Vox and they are Irish.
You pick the best songs! War and Joshua Tree, both great albums
You're right on, great band. What was I doing? Going to U2 concerts.
Shinedown - simple man next please. Slow rock and amazing vocals, also upbeat 😊
The legendary Bono and U2 this is a great song!! It's on the soundtrack to my life for sure. Check out Queensryche Empire
Haha, I was probably still playing with Lego's or Nintendo when this song came out. Or terrorizing a babysitter somewhere. I am glad you get to enjoy U2- thank you for sharing your reaction and your good vibes!
This is one of My favorite songs 💙. Check out Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve. It's a beautiful song 😭. Kind of reminds Me of you, sugar 😘
You should check out there performance of the song ‘Bad’ during the Live Aid concert when the whole world was watching- that performance shot them into super star status.
Data is also my favourite ever Star Trek character. Loved your reaction! "i still haven't found what i'm looking for" and "Beautiful Day" would be my next suggestions for U2
They filmed "where the streets have no name" on top of a liquor store in Los Angeles....totally shut down that intersection. Cops came n had to shut it down
U should watch them live were Bono the lead singer will pull an audience member up with him on stage and sing with her..... I believe Chicago to the same song or Try Mysterious ways live
Elvis suspicious minds live Las Vegas 1970
Take 5 minutes and go watch with or without you live in Boston 2001. He pulls a girl on stage, as he often did during a couple songs and songs to her
Lots of suggestions here already, but you need to check them out live. No record version has ever held a candle to their live performance. Start with All I Want is You/Where the Streets Have No Name from Slane Castle and you’ll see right away
Love your reactions and your style too. I would absolutely love to see and hear your reactions to ALL TNT Boys covers starting with "Flashlight" then their 3 performances from "The World's Best" tell me what you think 😉😊👍🏽
Best band ever!! :)
He just holds it.. it is a rocknroll song, he can hold a guitar
Lead singer Bono's original nickname was "bono vox" which is Latin for "good voice". It was later just shortened to Bono.
There a lot differrent song very good from them. Similar of this (look at the live in boston 2001) is "One" and "Walk on", fater are "Beautiful day" "New Year's day" for example.
If you liked this, there are a few others you need to check out by them:
One
Vertigo
Stay (Faraway So Close)
If God Will Send His Angels
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Mysterious Ways
Desire
Gloria
Miss Sarajevo
That's just kind of a friendly starter pack...
Good question Mia. That's the year I graduated high school. It was probably the most fun, busy, and formative in my life. Doubt you want to know the details because it would take too long to read 😏
GREAT reaction! I have enjoyed watching you react to music of all genres from my generation!!! Notification bell ON!
REQUEST!
Official Video of Prince - Purple Rain Live at Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY on March 30, 1985.
It’s kind of long because it’s epic…but worth every second. I guess you could edit the reaction but you will definitely MELT.
The song is slow but so beautiful. Maybe on a day you need something mellow. CHEERS!
Great song! Go for Sunday bloody sunday
When this was released in 1987,Rolling Stone Magazine called it “Pure beauty in a time of pure shit”
They did a duet with Mary j blige...one. very soulful n blues...check it out
They re from ireland
The 60's, the 70', the 80's, the 90's where times when music were made by artists. Since then music is made by producer who are just all about money.
Wonderful song.
A british band you might like is Muse. If you haven’t, you should react to some of their stuff.
Mia good day you will love U2 song*One*It's one of my favorites. Be cool stay safe.
Pride (in the name of love)
