U2 at the peak of their powers!! - By: John Kimble, 01 Sep 2006 
Although the band still manage to create great songs & sounds it was during the 1980s that they arguably produced some of their best work & indeed, created some of the songs of all time which made the band the worldwide phenomenon they are today.
Songs like Pride, With or with out you, I still haven't found what I'm looking for & Where the streets have no name are now iconic & serve to represent what was a golden era for U2 & the music worldin general.
Even if your not bothered about the B sides this compilation is simply brilliant & well worth owning. For me it should bein any music lovers collection.
Just as a final note, the music does not stop at track 14. After 'All I want is you', you will be treated to a bonus track so be patient & let it roll on.
Excellent - By: O. Doyle, 03 Apr 2006 
This album is U2 at it's finest. For me their best music ever was outin the 80's & every one of those songs is represented here. The album starts off with Pride & moves through the brilliance that is U2 with New Years Day all the way through to All I want is You. The emotion of Sunday Bloody Sunday is evident every time & brings you right back to the first time you ever heard that song.
I believe this is one of those must have cd's of the 80's especially if you're a U2 fan.
Good album!!!!!!!!!:) - By: , 03 Dec 2005 
One of U2s best albums. All the classics are here. The voted & jugded the best song ever :With or without You is on it(track3). A truly emotional & Irish song:Sunday Bloody Sunday is included. A less known yet classic I will follow is trk8.
Download: With or without You,Sunday Bloody Sunday & Bad.
Immense - By: Mr. N. C. P. Conway, 20 Apr 2005 
U2 are certainlyin my book the best band of all time & the 80's was their finest era. The brilliance of the joshua tree, unforgettable fire & rattle & hum are wonderfully represented here. However, my only gripe with the album is the lack of material from the band's early flashpunk era. Songs like tomorrow, like a song, with a shout, drowning man, out of control, electric co. etc... deserve inclusionin my book. Any of them could certainly have replaced when love comes to town which, although incredibly interesting, is by far the worst song here. The revamped sweetest thing is excellent though I prefer the b side original.
But perhaps I am being too fussy. This is almost as good a best of album as you will get with ome truly fantastic songs, if you have never heard U2in their prime you must buy this album.
AWESOME! U2 ROCK! - By: Lee Newell, 09 Feb 2005 
this album has it all. When i bought it I didnt have any U2 cds but always appreciated their music, well after buying this CD i have now bought a few others! So many great songs on this album, Pride, New yrs day, With or Without You, Where the streets have no name, Still havent found what im looking for, desire, sweetest thing, i will follow, all i want is you & my personal favourite the unforgettable fire. This album is a masterpiece, made up of all of U2's best songs between 1980 & 1990. The songs never get old & tired from listening to them excesively, now i cant wait to c them livein June!!
Before i appreciated their music now i am a FAN!
