I am a huge U2 fan.
My favorite song by them is 'City of Blinding Lights', though others include 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For', 'In God's Country', 'Desire', and 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'.
The later work hasn't gotten as much publicity, and that is understandable. I do happen to enjoy their earlier work more than the later stuff, but as a whole they're a great band that tries to be sincere in both their music and in their spiritual journeys, which is not something many rock bands can honestly say. I respect these guys immensely.
