With or Without You - U2

I don't feel like I've ever given U2 a fair chance. I should really check out some of their catalog. This is one of the more popular songs, and I was introduced to it when I was younger on a Friends episode. It plays the first time Ross and Rachel kiss. That moment and the buildup to it was a huge piece in the pop culture puzzle of the time. Every entertainment magazine was asking whether or not the two would wind up together. This was the first show I remember religiously watching each week, and I now own the full series on DVD.


"With or Without You" was the third track on The Joshua Tree, and it was released as the album's first single. The song became the band's most successful at the time, topping the Hot 100 chart. The song was written about Bono's trouble splitting his lives as a musician and a person who deals with everyday life.
