Martin Luther King [I Think Martin Luther King Was A Great Man]

Ever since I can remember, this song by U2 was/is my all time favourite from their entire catalogue. MLK "Martin Luther King," is this haunting melody that commands an awe inspiring silence within me, where I am internally forced to acknowledge and respect a man so great, yet so gentle in his approach towards adversity.

@Iwillwait I do like some songs after the Unforgettable Fire, just not as strongly I suppose ... I even bough the All That You Can't Leave Behind[/i CD from 2000, surprisingly, from which I really like the songs "New York" and "Beautiful Day"

In the US at least, there were two good tracks on a short EP ([i]Wide Awake in America)that appeared between The Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree LP's, "The Three Sunrises" and "Love Comes Tumbling"

There's a B-side from the Joshua Tree era called Spanish Eyes" which I like for instance, the live version of "Bullet the Blue Sky" from Rattle and Hum, and "Zoo Station" could be the only song I like on Achtung Baby, in spite of it being a completely different sound than what I was used to from U2 ... then I think a couple of other 90s songs were okay, "Lemon" and "Mofo" and another 2000s song was good, "City of Blinding Lights"

I think after The Joshua Tree that Larry Mullen's classic drumming era was largely over though, more of the songs started to sound the same with the drum track at least, he really didn't even have to show up it could've just been a drum machine
