U2

I love listening to U2. After watching the documentary a while ago about The Edge, Jack White, and Jimmy Page, I formed a newfound respect for The Edge and his contribution to the band. I like how U2's sound is rock but with a slight electronic feel that incorporates technology without changing the entire vibe. The constant renovations that The Edge makes to U2's sound, in part with the rest of the band of course, emphasizes the message they try to get across. U2 has embedded war protests and fights against diseases into their albums, which (I believe) is one of the reasons why they are such a highly regarded band. They could have very well stuck to traditional chords and lyrics that generated revenue and fame, but they chose to adopt a well-deserved cause, which I believe is admirable. My favorite songs are Ordinary People, Beautiful Day, Vertigo, City of Blinding Lights, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Get on Your Boots, Miracle Drug, All Because of You.
