Salvation Through U2's Greatest Hits

Date of Review:  Nov 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: This collection by the most important rock band of the past 25 years is essential if you're a U2 virgin or if you're too lazy to make your own mix.
Review: You don't need this album.

If you're a music fan, it's likely that you have several U2 albums in your personal catalog. I own most (not all) U2 albums (never bought "Boy" or "October", and my copies of "Zooropa" and "Pop" are missing)...

A Sampling of One of the Finest Artists of Our Generation

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: In just ten years U2 defined itself as one of the premier bands in the world. This collection proves it.
Review: What else can really be said about such an amazing band? No matter what you think of U2 or its seemingly pretentious singer, there's no denying the masterful knack the band has to touch the soul. And has been for over two decades now. For all we...

It's not that "Bad." Ha, that was great.

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2003
The Bottom Line: Recommend it to what friend? A diehard U2 fan friend, no. One lost in the sea of U2-lessness, yes. Since I sadly know more of the latter, I'll say "yes."
Review: U2 was that band who always said they'd never release a "best of" or "greatest hits." Well, obviously, they lied.

That's okay, though. This collection and The Best of 1990-2000 are both more than solid collections, each representing a very...

The Best of 1980-1990--Truly the Best

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: A must have for any first time U2 listener, as well as someone who wants to have all their favorite songs on one album.
Review: I am a big U2 fan, and I had to have all of these songs on one convenient disc that I could take in my car without having to swap out for my favorite songs on all six albums from this era. Here is a track by track analysis for all 14+1 (October is...

A good, maybe great, but not perfect compilation

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2008
The Bottom Line: For a casual fan, this will satisfy most needs for a pre-90's U2 compilation.  The die-hard fan should probably go straight to their albums.
Review: I bought The Best of 1980-1990 right when it came out, and I was very glad to, as at the time, U2 hadn't released a compilation and I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy four or five albums to get all the songs I liked by them.

First of all, a...

The B-Sides Make it Even Better

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2000
Review: Most bands if they are at all successful for 3 or 4 albums eventually release a "greatest hits" set. Some of those same bands take all the b-sides and rarities and release a cd of those. U2 decided to do something a bit different. They released a...

Definitely don't go without!

Date of Review:  Oct 20, 2000
Review: There are a few albums in my collection where I rarely get beyond a certain number of tracks because of a personal favorite, or deeply inspirational, or just darn good track - U2's Best of 80-90 is one of those.

However, while I rarely make...

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2000
Review: Myself and my older brother are avid fans of the band U2, and have been following them since the beginning. A while back we purchased The Best of 1980-1990 and we were very pleased with the compilation of music that was put into the cd's. It groups...

A Great Greatest Hits Album

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: A great album which has everything you need to get acquainted with U2 without buying up all their albums. Masterful, complete collection.
Review: "Where The Streets Have No Name." "Pride (In The Name of Love)." "I Will Follow." "Sunday Bloody Sunday." All of these are unquestionably some of the best songs of the 1980s. U2 has done groundbreaking work while releasing strong album after strong...

Date of Review:  Jan 15, 2000
Review: This is my most treasured CD since it is a limited edition. I have a habit of scratching CD's and breaking them, but this CD is handle with care. I wish it came out earlier so I didn't have to re-buy all the old albums on CD. (I previously had the...
