Mormon Pioneers named the Joshua Tree

U2 couldn’t have made The Joshua Tree without the Mormon pioneers.  Especially fitting with this being the 20th anniversary and a rumored special edition to be released in December (oh please, PLEASE!!!!).

    I still remember vividly when the album first came out. I even bought all the singles to it so I could have the b-sides. Still some of my favorite U2 songs, those b-sides.

    Susan,

    Sorry I missed your comment until now. I see that you subscribed to this so maybe you’ll get this.

    I did the same thing and I completely agree. Spanish Eyes and Sweetest Thing (original version) are some of their best songs ever. But all those b-sides are great. It should make a great set.

    The B-Sides are available on a “Best of” collection called The Best Of 1980-1990 – The B-Sides.
