Synopsis
Amazon.com One need hear only the first notes of this collection--the Edge's ringing guitar notes ushering in "Pride (In the Name of Love)"-to be taken back to 1984: Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher rule the Western world, the L.A. Olympics is the top sports story, and Ms. Pac-Man reigns at arcades. In rock & roll, there's U2 growing in stature with each new title. Even doubters of the Irish lads have to concede that together they formed the one '80s band with the skill and sense of scale to take over the airwaves and concert stages in a decade of diminished expectations. This 15-song '80s best-of assortment (stick around for the hidden track) spans the decade, reaching back to 1980's "I Will Follow," when Bono and company were peach-fuzzy and earnest as choirboys, and tracking their path through their most glaring misstep, 1988's overblown Rattle and Hum. --Steven Stolder Similar CDs

Member CD Reviews![]() Reviewed on 3/21/2017... The photograph of the military helmet on the boy from U2's War album is appropriate. At times U2 was almost too political for their own good in their 80s and early 90s lyrics. Really this collection of songs could be a rock version of military marching band music. I like the song When Love Comes to Town with BB King and Bono alternating singing. ![]() Reviewed on 9/27/2010... They still may not have found, what they're looking for, but this album has a lot of their hits. If you are a U2 fan, it's a good album of hits. 1 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful. ![]() Reviewed on 3/15/2007...
