Not at all, honestly find them tedious. Insulting and deriding anyone's opinion that is different to yours is much more "hipsterish" imho. Why ask opinions just to insult? |

Uhh, "A Sort Of Homecoming" is their best song. It is also one of the greatest songs ever recorded. No joke. Hard to find a song in all of Earth's history that can surpass it. All these years later I still love the thing. Magnificent sonically and Bono does a fine job lyrically and vocally (not his usual bombast).
The live version posted above is OK; the superior live version is the original video. (Unfortunatley, however, Bono does not sing the song's best line -- "She will die and live again" -- in this version. Why? Who knows?):
That live version is what the song was before Eno and Lanois got hold of it. Live it is still a fantastically great song, but the real masterpiece is the album version. Lest anyone forget how brilliant this song is (and calling it a mere "song" actually shortchanges its brilliance) here it is:
