A to Z 2K17: U is for U2

Band:  U2
Song:  With Or Without You
Album:  The Joshua Tree
Genre:  Rock

I will probably always have mixed feelings on U2.  Bono needs to shut his mouth about politics and their sound, while it was ahead of it's time in the 80s, is now the standby style of worship leaders everywhere.  Not really a bad thing, congrats to The Edge for developing a play style that's held on as long as this, but I'm tired of it.

I'll always hold this song in a special place though cause I straight up stole it's bass line for a song in church.  I suppose that means I did the same thing that all the guitarists do, but whatevs.  It's one of the only songs that I ever actually took the time to learn a part for.

U2 - New Year's Day

Band:  U2
Genre:  Alternative, Rock

I'm really hoping you all know who U2 is.  They're the band that added their album to your iTunes without you knowing it?  Well Apple did that, but whatever.

U2 has been around for ever now, and they have a sound that really can't be mistaken for anybody else.  Something that I think is really cool actually is that the sound they had back in the 80s still sounds relevant.  It almost could have been released in the last couple years and it wouldn't sound too out of place.

This song popped into my head the other day, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I remembered I did.
