Could someone recommend me 3 U2 songs that I MUST have heard? I am always puzzled that they are so famous, yet I can't hum a single hit of theirs.

Seriously? You need to go outside, or at least turn on the TV or radio...

You can't listen to german radio anymore. The 90s are "golden oldies" to them. I think I know Sunday Bloody Sunday, something like "how long do we have to play this song"? The melody escapes me though.

Thanks for the list, I have looked into it. Turns out I know Pride (In The Name Of Love) and With Or Without You, but have mistaken them for Coldplay or something.
Vertigo seems nice. But is there something that like, packs a punch and hooks you? I am not a hater.

Seriously, the only fun I had on their expense was directed at their business practices. They seem to play in their own league and quite well at that judged by their popularity.
But I don't get why one would compare them to the Stones except for what kind of money both make.

It's stupid. The only reason there is any comparison is because they both tend to tour about the same time.
It's as stupid as any comparison. U2 makes a lot of money touring. So do the Stones. U2 is still younger in their career and making new LPs, the Stones are older and not making new LPs.
WOO HOO.
WHATEVER.

I was talking about when they were just starting and still in school. I'm sure over the years they became better at playing their instruments and pull that one off.

There is a comma (not intentional, though) and GS is named Gimmie Shelter.
For the conservators...

Still, Stones has made more LPs than U2 and they have written more songs (officially published) than U2. This is not comparing quality, just
figures.

OF course they are going to be compared. Are you kidding me? They are about the same size and constantly tour at about the same time. How could they not be compared.
I will never understand those people who think nothing should be compared. Let me guess apples and oranges.
