Because almost everything they did from the pre-Boy era to the end of the Lovetown Tour seriously appeals to me, including my favourite album ever, The Unforgettable Fire. I also adore Passengers, and they've released a handful of great songs since the end of Lovetown (e.g. Acrobat, Zooropa, Gone, TGBHF, One Step Closer).
The eighties stuff has so much passion and enthusiasm mixed with great atmosphere and soundscapes, not to mention the intelligent political and theological themes that permeate much of the material. And at the end of the day, the songs from that era just sound really bloody brilliant.
I used to like current U2. Plus, I've come to really like it here, and there's more to this forum than just talking about current U2.
And yeah, the live gigs are still pretty good.
