You're such a predictable bastard that I knew you'd say precisely that even before the thread had loaded. Complete with the grammatical error.

And you quoted me too, so i can't fix it.
For me, they are all good and Bono has had different strengths and weaknesses throughout. He is not better or worse now than at any other time, just different. If I have to choose, it goes like this:
1.)Rattle and Hum
2.)Joshua Tree
3.)HTDAAB- His voice easily sounded the best it has since the late 80s, with the added technical ability and control. Like Peterr said, cant wait for the new album!

Agreed! Once upon a time I used to wonder too why "Bono" sounded so different on VDL so I can see somebody thinking coolian really thought so.

For me, it's a draw between UF and ATYCLB-present. Bono's voice on UF has this otherworldly golden glow to it, minus the overbearing gosh-I-feel-so-strongly-about-everything pomposity that crept into some of his performances on JT and R&H. And I really love his later-day voice, what it lost in power it gained in character IMO.

I fully agree with you. BPCH is one of the best things I've ever heard and Bono's voice on this song is simply incredible.

Oh yes, one of my faves too, plus In A Lifetime and Night and Day is as good as it gets for me!
In terms of albums it has to be the unforgettable fire and Joshua Tree.

NAD is the best cover ever made.
Wild Irish Rose is another one, the deep sound of Bonos voice is But one of his deepest vocals ever must be Dying Sailor To His Shipmates, what a powerful low deep voice.

Is that one officially credited to U2 ?
I always thought it was just Bono and Edge.
*edit* On second thought, that is my favourite Bono voice - Night and day/Wild irish rose. You can hear the AB gravelyness entering but he still soars as anything in the 80s.

Well, it's technically not credited to anyone! It was presented, without introduction, in some documentary and Bono spoke over one verse about it; otherwise it's wholly unreleased and uncredited. But clearly Adam and Larry would be in it. Unless Edge learnt to play drums or something!
I've never seen any insinuation that it's not U2. In the part where Bono speaks, he refers to it being written when "we", i.e. U2, were in LA.
