Kenney Jones did.


While recording The Joshua Tree, Bono forgot his wife Ali's birthday, or simply failed to return home depending on who you hear it from. In any case, he was in the doghouse in a big way; to make it up to her, he wrote her a song that was reviled by his band mates and producer alike. Presumably it worked, since he's still with the same woman more than two decades later.

Name that tune.
