They spent the rest of the decade growing up in public, solidifying their status as post-punk icons, marrying the good intentions of old-school alternative rock with the epic sonic scale of classic '70s rockers, never sounding less than totally original and never pausing for a hits compilation--until 1998. BEST OF offers a good representation of the complex body of work that made the band a legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFittingly, the album begins with the debut's \"I Will Follow,\" a statement of commitment to pursuing truth and spirituality despite continual and inevitable misgivings. \"Desire\" mates Bono's lyrical fervor with a modified Bo Diddley beat to fine effect. New world meets old on the bluesy B.B. King collaboration \"When Love Comes to Town.\" Closing things out, \"All I Want is You\" shows the moody, reflective side of the band, giving Bono a chance to croon and the rest of the band to exhibit the understated side of their instrumental might.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1998-11-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1998-11-10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"U2","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53454629437624,"sku":"UPEHPU-QMBC-LD","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/u2-the-best-of-1980-1990_5tnu9.jpg?v=1778525774","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/u2-the-best-of-1980-1990","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
