How To Buy... U2 #9

9. Zooropa
(ISLAND 1993)
As if the 162-date Zoo TV tour was not testing enough, U2 recorded this warped, experimental affair between dates and at soundchecks and, laughing in the face of commercial good sense, released Edge's icy techno-rap, Numb, as a single. Heavily electronic, and featuring Eno on keyboards, everything about Zooropa says what the hay, from The Wanderer's startlingly Kraftwerkian Johnny Cash conflab to Lemon's scintillating, falsetto Eurodisco. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Stay (Faraway, So Close) rivals the more feted One in the flayed ballad stakes. It was U2's profit holiday, and it sounded like nothing before or since.
