When we were dating I used to serenade my wife with that song, singing it in a cookie monster voice

Somehow I'm married

"The Sweetest Thing" is better. "Streets" is boring, overwrought U2

Maybe a bit harsh but honestly that is the side of U2 that interests me the least. I think they are a pretty good pop band but these big clenched-jaw moments make me roll my eyes. To be fair this one has some cool melodic turns and it isn't anywhere near as bland as "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" or "Pride (In the Name of Love)"

I really, really, really dislike both of these - and all of those Jorge mentioned.

U2 are a frustrating band. There's glimpses of a band that really appeals to me, but it's so fleeting and infrequent.
