Today, so much commercial crap is put out on the market. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure Ashlee Simpson's "Biography" just puts goosebumps through your soul, but what I'm saying is -- lately, we get more quantity over quality.

So, when I popped in U2's masterpiece "The Joshua Tree" in this afternoon -- and, God, it's been so long! -- imagine how I felt letting those first few minutes of "Where the Streets Have No Name" play as I slowly drifted into it. The emotion, the feelings, the soundscapes, all superb. Not only were U2 starting to evolve their "signature sound" a bit, but they were also working with one of the greatest producers alive: Daniel Lanois.

I listened to the entire thing today, and then hit the repeat button, and have let it play for the last 8 hours. It's perfect, it really is. See for yourself; rediscover this record for yourself. Its time-testing and classic-ness will never be reproduced. Just see for yourself.

I am a total U2 fan both old and new the Joshua Tree is a Beautiful work of art it is also the 2nd most selling album from the 80's (just behind Michael Jackson)

I would say one of my favorite tracks off that album is Exit it still gives me goosebumps

Lyrically Pop was amazing beautiful lyrics on that album I have all the U2 CD's and singles and so on and so on I think at last count I had over 75 CD'd of U2

even the one they did w/ Brian Eno released under the name "Passengers"
