In the same way that musicians and bands have songs in their repertoire that they do not like, do not enjoy playing and do not find as incredible as their fans, there is the opposite, songs that generate a lot of pride and that will always remain in the memory for they. Bono is a great example of this, as he has revealed that there is a U2 song that makes him proud.

Bono revealed that “Vertigo” is a song he is very proud of: “It's because of the way it connects with the audience. The band sounds incredible.” The song was published in 2004 as part of the album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and was a total success. In fact, it gave its name to the tour that U2 did in 2005-2006: “Vertigo Tour.”
Bono revealed that he didn't like the name U2: “I don't really like it. I realized it too late, due to some kind of dyslexia, because I also didn't realize that The Beatles was a crappy pun. In our heads, U2 was like the spy plane, the submarine, it was futuristic, but no, I don't like that name. I still don't like it. What happened was Paul McGuinness, our first manager, said: “Look guys, it's a great name, it'll look good on a shirt, a letter and a number.”
