This is how I see U2's view of each album while they were making them:

Boy: (All the band) Well, we got a deal, a band and a studio,
now what do we put on it?

       (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

October: (Bono)Aargghh!!! Some stupid bastard stole my
briefcase! Where are my lyrics? Aah!! Don't worry, I'll
make something up.

          (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

War: (All the band)The first album we can settle
into. Lyrics? Check. Experience? Check. Now, I say we make
some political comments. Oh, and by the way, we have a
bass player!

           (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

UF: (Bono) Hey guys! I found this bald english guy who says
he's interested in music. He reckons he's worked with Bowie!

       (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

JT: (Bono) Oh WOW! I was going through my old history and
geography books and discovered this place called America.
Supposedly it brings fame and fortune.

     (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

R&H: (All the band) Now, lets cash in our fame and make...a
movie!!!! I'm sure it'll be the best film in history!!!
Perhaps we should make a kind of album with old AND new music on
it!

      (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

AB: (Bono) Well, THAT fucked up! I say we go to Germany
and see what's happening there!

      (Larry) Face it, nothings happening, and take those
stupid glasses off and that T.V will make your eyes go square!

    (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

ZOOROPA: (All the band) Ok, we've got a break, now lets see
what we've done. Oh my god!! We're pregnant!
It's..it's...it's an ALBUM! Gee, how do we play them on
tour?

          (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

POP: (All the band) WE'RE BAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!! And we've
discovered ART. WARHOL!!!!!!! Also, Edge bought a computer and
figured we could use it to change the music.

      (Adam) I don't care. Let's just play music!

to watch T.V now, have ya!"

very much fun."
