My unironic favourite part in a U2 song is when he cuts loose in One Tree Hill and especially when he cuts loose in One Tree Hill live in Dublin at the end of 1989.

Which one ? I have a huge preference for December 26th where Edge really is on fire.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Is there a better U2 outro than the last 15 gorgeous seconds of Streets?

A rare occasion of a Gen X'er bringing non-ironicing to the table.
"There's nothing wrong with U2. As far as I'm concerned, I've stolen from Larry Mullen's career for years. Without Larry, I wouldn't be able to stomp and sing, it'd be difficult. I mean I owe debts to the Bhundu Boys, Larry Mullen, Stewart Copeland. They're good players, and they're great songwriters" - Gary "Reni" Wren, drummer, The Stone Roses reunion press conference, 18/10/2011

"I'd just like to put on record that that's bobbins" - Ian Brown, singer, ditto

I understand your question but in truth, I don't know which one.  The one where Bono goes into this whole chant during the solo.
