U2’s 1987 album is a perfect blend of soaring rock anthems, introspective ballads, and socially conscious lyrics that still resonate today. The album is a sonic journey through the vast expanses of the American west, and the music perfectly captures the sense of awe and wonder that comes with being in the presence of such vast, natural beauty. From the haunting opening notes of “Where the Streets Have No Name” to the triumphant chorus of “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” the album is an emotional rollercoaster that will leave you breathless. With its timeless melodies, powerful vocals, and poetic lyrics, The Joshua Tree is an album that simply must be experienced.
