War Child
As far as I know, Bono writes most of their songs. Can you guys name any songs written excusively by The Edge, Adam or Larry?
The Beatles had a healthy balance between Lennon and McCartney and even Harrison wrote and sang a fair amount of songs. Depeche Mode has certain songs written and sung exclusively by Martin Gore and not Dave Gahan.
I know that Bono's persona, his ego, his image... all of it make up U2. And the four of them do come together very well as a band and have stuck with each other for 30+ years without letting Bono's ego get the better of them.
But I cannot help wonder if the others chimed in a little more, would we see a different level of songwriting? Of course, it is commendable that U2 have gone for so long without breaking up, which happens easily when egos clash. I dunno. What are your thoughts?
