The 11 Best U2 Songs of the 00s

In the 90s, U2 kept trying to re-invent themselves. Achtung Baby stands out as an epic achievement...while Pop and Zooropa floundered with the band, trying to find their way. But as the new decade opened, U2 realized that re-discovery of their own sound was as powerful as any new tangent they could embark on. With ATYCLB and HTDAAB, U2 embraced who they were...a rock n roll band. In the 90s, it seemed like they were chasing the musical trends. But they don't need to do that...they are U2...they are the trend. They proved that when they re-established themselves with Beautiful Day. Within weeks, radio scrambled to find the next U2. Not long after, bands like Coldplay, Travis, Elbow, Muse, Clinic, and the Doves had been thrust into the limelight right along side the world's favorite Irish chaps.
