    People Around The World Love U2 Music!!!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 23, 2001

    I personaly believe if there is a band in the world today which is most famous in 20'40'or 50's PPL' they all love U2 music!!! Their music gives you the same taste you ever "desire" for and they still rockin the streets, where the streets have no name.

    The B-Sides are all classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 5, 2001

    This limited edition double CD is worth it. Not only do you get 14 classic U2 tunes (plus 1 bonus track), but also 15 B-sides. The rare B-sides disk shows the more experimental side of U2, like the hypnotic 'Love Comes Tumbling'(which is slightly different than the version on the 'Wide Awake In America' E.P.) or 'Endless Deep'. It also contains some songs that would have made it on the planned Joshua Tree double album like 'Walk to the Water', the original 'Sweetest Thing' and 'Spanish Eyes'.
    'Unchained Melody', 'Everlasting Love' and 'Dancing Barefoot' are adequate covers.
    The only problem I have with the album is that it omitted many great songs. In my opinion, 'Treasure (Whatever happened to Pete the Chop)', 'Boomerang II', 'Deep in the Heart' and 'Race Against Time' all should have been included. This Album is a must for the casual fan.

    CD2 is Ok but it would only be for U2 fans however there is some good songs on it. They have some good cover songs on this album.

    If you can't get the limited edition don't get too upset. CD1 is the Only classic.

    Greatest HitsAlongWithSomeGreatRemakes

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 18, 2001

    All the infamous tracks of Disc #1 speak for themselves; there's also a little extended solitude at the end of the last track, All I Want Is You, (after a long silence). Disc #2 features those tracks of which give way to the disc 2 title, 'The B Sides.' 'Bass Trap' is a totally physically, psychologically, and emotionally calming and beautifully portrayed form of art for the senses to just let-go and relax all worries away to. 'Everlasting Love' is a fun remake. And track nine, which is U2's cover and Artistic interpretation of the infamous original "classic oldie" recorded by the Righteous Brothers, 'Unchained Melody', is just an incredible work of style and technique with combining the bass, percussion, accustical-synthesizing techniques, with gorgeous guitar rifts provided by The Edge, along with Bono's staggering, gripping, and whole-heart-felt lead vocals; even the other band members' voices are heard. Simply BreathTaking, Soulful, and Peaceful for the mind and body to take in. Awe-inspiring. Take a listen and decide for yourself.

    u2's greatest hits album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 27, 2000

    this is my ultimate favorite album out of all the many cd's I have. Not only did this album come with their most popular songs, I heard other songs from disc 2 that I fell in love with and never knew they had. I really recommend this album for everyone to go out and buy. There is not one song on this cd that I dislike. They are musical geniouses.
