ABOY: An all-time classic?

[nightninja56]

must be because I'm young and just recently got into U2, but all because of you is one of my favorite U2 songs, and one that hooked me on U2

 

[Nube Gris]

that means really something
it is an extraordinary rocker, and monster live

All Because of You is not a classic.
U2 is not "dad-rock" because they appeal to such a wide age range. The key is to keep their output varied. For every ABOY they have to have a Vertigo...

It's a f*cking stellar song.

ABOY is a horrible song IMO (exluding the "I'm at the door..." lyrics.)

U2 is almost dad rock.

Let's hope for a creative spark.

They're getting very close to Dad rock, agreed. I think Bono recognizes this -- in a recent interview he hinted at a big change in musical direction on the next album (although doesn't he always do this? "punk rock on Venus" etc.?).

The band needs to get experimental and weird again.
