Review - :
This single is {$U2}'s first from their breakthrough 1987 album {^The Joshua Tree}. {$Bono} spoke with the press about inspiration for the song: "{$Scott Walker}'s {&"Climate of Hunter,"} that was a great influence on our LP. Listen to {&"With or Without You."}' Other influences included {$the Righteous Brothers} and the {$Walker Brothers}. {/U2.com} notes this bit of trivia: {&"With or Without You"} was played live for the first time on the second night of The Joshua Tree tour in Tempe, AZ, on April 4, 1987. During that performance, {$Bono} included snippets of {$Joy Division}'s {&"Love Will Tear Us Apart."} {&"With or Without You"} became {$U2}'s first number one on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and won Best Single by readers in the 1987 {~Rolling Stone Magazine} poll. According to the band's official site, this song is the second most popular {$U2} song for artists to cover. This single contains the B-sides {&"Luminous Times (Hold on to Love)"} and {&"Walk to the Water."} The {^With or Without You} single released in Guatamala also has the album version of {&"Mothers of the Disappeared."} This single, and the two that follow, are significant because they contain two of the songs that constitute the {^The Joshua Tree} double album version. {&"With or Without You"} is one of the few {$U2} songs to have charted higher in the US (number two) than in the U.K. (number four). This single was the first the band released on CD. ~ JT Griffith, All Music Guide
