There is a brief introduction to the songs listed on Apple Music:

To celebrate U2’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour film, the band’s iconic guitarist The Edge presents a playlist of tracks that represent both themes to him. The Edge’s church is broad: Patti Smith (“Patti changed my world with ‘Horses,’ and made me not only wanna be in a band but read poetry”), Radiohead (“Burn the Witch” makes music ‘vital’ again), The Ramones (“they gave us the keys to the car…all ya needed was two chords and a guitar”), Seinabo Sey (“West Africa meets Swedish cool”), David Bowie (“A world without David Bowie. I can’t even go there…”), Future Islands (”‘Seasons’ is the only song where anyone in the world can look good on the dance floor”), and many more.
