Rattle And Hum: 25 Years To U2 Album

Rattle And Hum was released about 25 years ago on 10th of October, 1988. Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton tried to follow the roots of Gospel and Blues Rock after making their wonderful The Joshua Tree. Some of the critics said that U2 were trying to get into the giant shoes of the artists they covered, such as Bob Dylan, The Beatles, John Lennon and B.B King. Still, It was a great effort to travel through America's earlier sounds. 25 years after, some of the songs might sound pretty old, but it deserves the recognition, so here are five original songs from that album

God II

Heartland

Desire

When Love Comes To Town (With B.B. King)

All I Want Is You

Hill (Pick Word #31)

When I was a young child, I lived in a small town surrounded by beautiful endless green fields and a view to the sea. But most of all, I loved the little hill, where I found myself running up and down without any particular purpose. It seems that many songs were written about hills, five of them by The Beatles (Of course...), Marketa Irglova, PJ Harvey, Emma Pollock and Gorillaz, which I find wonderful and intersting are here. Enjoy
