Hall of Fame Album | Posted August 05, 2009
This is a six star album! This CD put U2 on the world map and they have been there ever since. Every song on the album is great. I Still Haven't Found What I am Looking For is one of my all time favorite songs. This CD influences so many bands to this day. It is worth the price!

when u2 first started they were considered a christian group and they *were* sold in christian stores.
however, that being said, i love this group! this album is wonderful. i love the song where the streets have no name.

Classic | Posted August 24, 2007
I've been listening to this album since it was an album (ya know- vinyl)...actally I did buy it on CD in the early 90's and I still have it! What a great CD. If you don't have this in your collection ...what are you waiting for?

The Dream of America that could have been | Posted August 07, 2007
I am always amazed that U2 albums are not sold in most Christian stores. While many will debate the "religiosity" of the individual band members, the message of their music cannot be ignored or denied.
The Joshua Tree was the band's first major American breakthrough, and rightly so. The album presents a vision of America as seen through the eyes of non-Americans, a vision of what could have been.
From the haunting opening chords of "Where the Streets have No Name", though the southern-gospel inspired "I Still haven't Found What I'm Looking For", the songs practically beg for the idealistic America where God rules and we could be the Heaven on Earth that many wishfully think we are.
Other songs "With or Without You" and "Running to Stand Still" explore the challenge of living a faith in a broken world of sex and drugs.
As a whole, one of the best albums out there. 5 stars without a doubt.

One of the biggest albums ever | Posted August 07, 2007
When the album came out I was shocked by the marvellous music and almost bought directly the album. Later I reckonized the meaning of the songs and this made it an even bigger album.
Gospel music, but sold as normal popmusic. I wonder how many people have been inspired by U2 to go to Jesus
