Something that always baffled me is that they were changing up their sound big time in the 1990s ... Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop were pretty frigging good albums in my worthless opinion ... they had a really different, distinct sound (assuming you are into that kind of music of course ... to many, they're all trash).
For whatever reason, they seemed to go back to their Joshua Tree sound after those three albums ... their music has sounded the same ever since. I guess they really wanted to go after what sounded good to the masses to raise more cash for their overlords. As you said, they've been singing the same song for decades ... only the songs have different titles :-) .
Kudos on the 'Pop' shoutout. It's never mentioned among their best, and often times considered a colossal failure/mistake, but it happens to be my favorite of theirs. Several good tunes and like the distinct sound.
Of course, that's ancient history bc I've learned more about the POS Bono is, so I haven't followed them in years.
I thought the early work of U2 especially the Joshua Tree album was great. I really enjoy the music.
Elvis too. Loved the songs and the 68 comeback special. Incredible performance.
1965 to 70 Tom Jones. Great too.
Johnny Cash as well.
