    Aye that's quite ironic ! But they're the most famous Irish group, they're from Dublin, and they sing love and rebel (* Sunday) songs. So no matter if they don't want to live in Ireland anymore, they do embody Ireland in the collective mind here ! :shamrock:

    Bono always used to say that Sunday * Sunday isnt a rebel song before he sang it.

    And the band, well they all live in Dublin so I dont know what you mean by that.

    Anyway was just listening to Where the streets have no name, probably my favorite sing of all time.

    My fav band of all time!, although I have lost some respect for them after relocating to Amsterdam. And yeah Bono wrote when love comes to town.

    Like some of their stuff.

    I play 'Where The Streets Have No Name' religiously before every old firm game and 'With or Without You', 'Pride' and 'Beautiiful Day' are cracking tunes.

    The flip side is I think they have a lot of bland stuff as well and Bono is a bit of a dull, annoying *.
