Thinking of the 2nd and 3rd albums, you have to wonder would have been the outcome had Bono not lost his briefcase while in the process of writing the 2nd album, which was meant to be WAR. I’m not saying they would have released the WAR album exactly as the version we know (and adore) today, but we most certainly can say that the 2nd album would not have been the bland October we got. Anybody with me here?
