The song 'Stranger In A Strange Land' is about the English people, being "strangers" in the "strange land" of Ireland during the war, or vice versa.
But I SWEAR I remember Bono talking about this song in U2byU2, and that he wrote about it about touring in countries they'd never been in before - specifically about a time when the band were all sleeping in the back of a van and they got pulled over by a military check-in or something, and Paul McGuiness had to explain that he wasn't smuggling people in, but that they were a band lol. But I could be wrong!
Just thought I'd be a little shit and point that out

Hey man - that’s just an evil choice!!
I’d pick to erase those two and keep the other dozen, but it’d hurt to do it!

It’s horrid and that’s what makes it a great question (If I say so myself). I really don’t know what I’d do, whatever decision I made I’d be absolutely gutted either way losing all they great songs, my guts telling me lose everything else and that leaves the best 2 albums for me but there’s so many good songs on the rest it kills me. What a dilemma!
