U2 The Best Of 1980-1990
Posted: Sun Dec 30, 2012 3:30 amI really became interested in U2 about 2 months ago and then I dowloaded my favourite singles (The Unforgettable Fire, I Will Folow, Pride, New Years Day, Gloria, Sunday Bloody Sunday) , which I've listened to a lot in the past 2 months. I downloaded 3 b-sides (Everlasting Love, Love Comes Tumbling and Spanish Eyes) I already knew aswell. But I wanted to have an original album with the 80s hits and with great sound quality. So, last Thursday I decided it was time to buy The Best Of 1980-1990.
That afternoon I headed to the mall and visited 2 record shops. In one of them the record was on sale for $13 and in the other one for $11. I bought the cheapest copy, of course. I listened to the album for the first time the next morning.
I knew all the songs, with the exception of Bad and When Love Comes To Town. My favourite songs are Pride and The Unforgettable Fire. In my opinion, Desire, When Love Comes To Town and Angel Of Harlem aren't that great (these songs are from Rattle And Hum, which is, according to some, one of their worst albums)as they are too bluesy but the rest of the album is brilliant.
My only complain is that they could have included more songs (as the album lasts for only 65 minutes) such as Gloria, one of my favorite of their singles.
Despite this, I think I made a good purchase as I love most of these songs and now I have them together in one CD.
