The boys from Dublin have rocked better, for far longer than any other band in history. But it's not their longevity or prolific, quality output that earn them a spot in Paul's Rocktober Alphabet.
They stand out for the depth of their lyrics, the pounding, huge sound, the breadth and height of what rock music can be. Dynamic, intimate, poetic, angry. U2 rocks with more than rebellion, more than raw sexual energy. Rather, they speak the truth about humanity's beauty and brokenness, with honesty, dignity, and hope.
Rock usually doesn't mesh well with peaceful hearts and a brighter future.
But isn't hope the ultimate rebellion?
