Since when has U2 done anything that we would "expect."

If you name 5 bands/artists who have done GH albums who are no longer "on the
make" I can name 10 who have and are still quite popular who still record
other material, and who still go on tour (no not club gigs -- arenas and
stadiums).

How can you undermine your own artistic integrity by releasing your best work,
and possibly rarities in one album? I can see if you posed on an album cover
or in a video lip synching to someone else's voice calling it your own. I can
even see doing a cover of someone else's song just to get a song on the
charts. Maybe releasing work that is just not quality. But something that is
tried and true? No not at all.

LOL -- did I hear that somewhere before?? Oh wait, that was the naked "bono"
pics (NOT).

Personally, I love the idea of a Greatest Hits album. Imagine only having 1
CD in the car, and not fumbling thru 10 other CD's to hear all the good songs!
Yes, well I never said I wasn't lazy. Hey U2 -- I will buy it (and I know
everyone else will to -- no matter what they say)! All I want to know is ...
will there be more naked Adam pictures?
