@modeo92 all you gotta do is look at their videos from 1980-81 and look at the comments. The songs from the Boy and October eras, including unreleased and singles. And, there's also the matter of their character at that time, in addition to the song characters. More street cred.

U2 were only playing covers in 76-77, originals came in 1978, though they may have had some mere beginnings of original compositions in late 77.

@ToolsnFire I think U2 was at its best in 1976-77. I win.

I know a lot of U2 fans and I've never heard the 1980-81 opinion. But with millions and millions of fans in the world, I'm sure there's bound to be a lot of people who agree with you. I've actually joked about going back to that era when people state U2 was their best or sold out after (pick any period of their career). It's almost a contest to see who is the better fan.

@modeo92 you have to appreciate and admire the eager youthful beginnings, I do, as well as the character projection of that time, in addition to the brilliant compositions. The best U2, is 1980-81. Really(mine and many other U2 fans opinion). Yes, I/we understand their whole career.

@ToolsnFire Ok, fair enough. But I much prefer recent versions with visuals or without. Their performance of the song on Saturday Night Live in 2004 is one of my favorite tv moments. And their version of it when I saw them in Miami in 2005, after the first 3 set songs, really got my favorite concert ever going full throttle. A lot of descriptions fit both of those examples, but reserved is not one of them. Bono dancing around in a video from 30 years ago just doesn't compare.
