Though I would gladly come back to the fold for an album of Edge/Eno/(Mullen/Clayton) ambient/prog metal. Like if you took the U2 elements already lurking in, say, ISIS and, I dunno, U2'd 'em up? As much as I enjoy Bono's "gospel voice" I would definitely pay money to hear his COOOOOKIE.

Srsly, this could be like Achtung Baby II.

Or bluegrass. Bluegrass could be good, but with soaring choruses and dotted-eighth delay.

U2 doing ambient/prog metal would be a truly joyous day, but it isn't going to happen.

I know!!! Why don't they try some techno??!!?!!!

U2's '91-'97 run is their best work.

You are right, in that 'Passengers: Original Soundtracks Vol. 1' is by FAR their best work. 'Your Blue Room' I'd even call a bono fide classic!

Motion seconded, but let the record state that we find the pun execrable.

Bono has just reached parodic territory with these statements, hasn't he?

I'm itching to take Bono down to Chinatown!
