Negativland - U2

Who:  Negativland

When:  1991

Where:  Concord, CA

Why:   No one with a soul can resist skewering the most pompous windbags of the 1980s.

[The Radness Average (or star rating) is derived from assigning each song a number of stars based on a 1-5 scale, then adding the total number of stars, and then dividing that number of total stars by the number of songs on the record. A Radness Average of 4.0 or higher indicates a good or great record. A Radness Average of 2.0 or less indicates pure crap. Everything else is in the middle somewhere.]
