U2's 'Rattle and Hum' official album cover
" The best things in life are often found when you’re not looking for them.
Thirty-six years ago, “Rattle & Hum” was released by U2 on Oct. 10, 1988. During this time, U2 - drummer Larry Mullen, Jr., bassist Adam Clayton, guitarist The Edge, and lead singer Bono - was riding high with “The Joshua Tree,” with tracks like “With or Without You” and “Where The Streets Have No Name” still ringing fresh on rock radio. Back in ‘88, the new wave was still big! Especially for 14-year-old me, I remember back then, I had recently had the capacity to buy music of my own choosing. The mission was to buy a new wave record, and U2’s “Rattle & Hum” was an obvious choice. I mean, “New Year’s Day” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday” were already staples of the new wave genre, right?
