I think by the time they did the Rattle & Hum movie & record they were no longer about quality. Way too much ego and too little content. A Mhaca,

I think they lost a lot of fans during the Achtung Baby/Pop/Zooropa period. Zooropa was a very weak album but I think there's still something on every album which I like. Gerry Been listening to Boy again this morning. Very strong album esp for a debut, great stuff. Swearing Lady ... you JOKE about U2? HEATHEN ! :) A Chionaoidh (is that right in the vocative?),

The "Boy" version is downright mild by comparison. I don't think I ever had that much energy, even when I was that young (I think they were in their late teens at the time they recorded "Boy"). :-( I’ve got a demo version of “Out of Control” from before they cut “Boy”, and they sound like a bunch of whacked-out punks on speed.
