One need hear only the first notes of this collection--the Edge's ringing guitar notes ushering in "Pride (In the Name of Love)"-to be taken back to 1984: Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher rule the Western world, the L.A. Olympics is the top sports story, and Ms. Pac-Man reigns at arcades. In rock & roll, there's U2 growing in stature with each new title. Even doubters of the Irish lads have to concede that together they formed the one '80s band with the skill and sense of scale to take over the airwaves and concert stages in a decade of diminished expectations. This 15-song '80s best-of assortment (stick around for the hidden track) spans the decade, reaching back to 1980's "I Will Follow," when Bono and company were peach-fuzzy and earnest as choirboys, and tracking their path through their most glaring misstep, 1988's overblown Rattle and Hum. --Steven Stolder

 U2 August 20, 2008
Little Lana (USA)
I like these songs, doesn't have everything I want, but what collection does? U2's Great success has continued: (Billboard Boxscore, and Ray Waddell of Billboard magazine): The Worldwide "U2 Vertigo Tour" played March 28,2005 to Dec 9, 2006 and earned $389,047,816 from 131 shows - 4,619,021 tickets sold - tour producer Arthur Fogel of Live Nation - $96.92 average North America ticket price (from Poillstar) This type of popularity and earned success doesn't come around everyday: Senator Hillary Clinton has it: In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton not only earned more votes than any of her rivals, she earned more votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (and earned 311 electoral votes, to her Party's presumptive nominee who earned 227 - 270 needed to win in November - On August 28,2008, the Party chooses it's nominee for President)
The Best of Does include October. July 22, 2008
Brandon (United States)
Hidden track on a CD? I was listening to this CD in full from one song to another. The whole album flowed all the way to the last track titled "All I Want Is You". Once the song ended and 30 seconds had passed the track kept playing in the car's CD Player. A minute and 12 seconds later there is a surprise. There's a secret track after "All I Want Is You". It's "October", the title track from U2's 1981 album, "October". A great song from their title album.
If you love U2 July 18, 2008
Vicki Wurster (Hatfield, PA)
I am late to U2 fandom. And even now I really only like the 1980's U2, but if you like U2 from the 1980's this is the CD for you. All the songs from Rattle & Hum and a few I had never heard before. The best of U2 all on one CD.
 U2 sucks May 15, 2008

Who the hell is the kid on half of their lame album covers. Bono is a retard, U2 sucks, and the songs on this album proves it and shows how "rock" they are.
Excellent Music April 9, 2008
Ray Biersbach (NY, NY)
The best music from one of the best bands of the 80's and 90's. If you own all their other albums then there isn't much for you here but if you are new to the band then this is a god place to start appreciating them.
