Ironic? Whatever that means, it is a bold, new direction for U2 in the 90's; not a bad song on the album. ; esp. "One", "Zoostation", "The Fly" "...Wild Horses" & "Even Better Than The Real Thing".

ZooropaZooropa by U2
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $1.07

Rattle and HumRattle and Hum by U2

Often overlooked sophmore effort; lacks some of U2's typical catchiness, solid work for the most part; esp. "Gloria", "October", "With A Shout" & "Fire".

Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $3.90
I know some people dislike the quality or the listing or the live clips; whatever. It is cool, at least for nostalgia sake, to see their evolution through videos. Still waiting for 1980-1990 on DVD.
