What better way to start 2023 than with a gift that keeps on giving the whole year in the best podcast about U2 and the 124th greatest album of all time, Achtung Baby?

 

But before we get to the album Aaron takes us through his mysterious ways and shares his best books, music, and food of 2022. We also discuss Christmas inflatables maintenance, sleeping styles, and another unfortunate hotel incident.

 

Then at (35:00) we take this episode over the edge when we discuss U2's Grammy Award-winning alternative rock album, Achtung Baby. We talk about U2's guitar sound, why people disdain U2 (and hot dog-flavored water), and the best songs portraying characters.

 

 

If the final joke on this episode made you want to order a 5-piece chicken dinner, then you should download our bouillabaisse next week when we become the best Beastie Boys podcast and cover their hip hop sampledelia album, Paul's Boutique.
