That's EXACTLY what I want to know. Much of The Joshua Tree is extremely radio-friendly, yet it's hailed as one of the best albums ever created. And rightly so. There's just no way to deny it - U2 are good at writing pop songs. And their pop songs are GOOD! Hell, even U2's most-poppish song, The Sweetest Thing, is better than the majority of the crap you hear on MTV. I like hearing U2 experiment just as much as the next person, but there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with HTDAAB. In fact, I like the songs from HTDAAB much more than many of the songs on Zooropa and Pop. And I don't understand the big deal over promoting the album... In fact, I want them to promote the album like they currently are. The more people who listen to it, the better. I'd love nothing more than to see those poor, misguided people - who are being fooled by 99.9% of the artists on MTV - realise what REAL music sounds like.
