80's Nostalgic Poll-ice? LOL! U 2 People Who Respond Get It! HA! "SYNCHRONICITY" 1983 VS "JOSHUA TREE" Bigger EGO? STING OR BOZO I MEAN BONO!

[RUSHHEAD666]

Hello and welcome to double dating, double dipping, double trouble and double tripping! Do I have you the humble reader's attention tonight?

 

Been going though a serious 80's vibe this week. I was in high school when these two records came out.

I was a Rush prog whore. A young Heavy Metalist, but I was in love with The Police and U2 back then. Copeland and Larry Mullen Jr. I loved them. But Stewie is still in my top three of all time drummers today.

 

Neil

Simon

Stewart

 

Neil Simon? A famous director? LOL!

 

Anyway I could have done a poll "The Unforgettable Fire" VS "Synchronicity" since they were closer in release year but hell I went with "Joshua Tree."

 

"Unforgettable Fire" was my favorite back in high school. Just to note.

 

Anyway this is a double poll.

 

Which album do you love the most?

 

Also which lead singer of these bands do you think has the biggest fuckking EGO?????

 

 

I'm a "Synchronicity" guy and I think BONO is the biggest BOZO on the planet Earth!

The Cops are one of my favorite bands ever. I enjoy U2, but other than Achtung Baby I can't say I love any of their albums.

I despise Bono. I think Sting is a jerk too, but I love The Police music. Could listen to them all the time. Edited May 29, 2019 by Lorraine

I hate both of these dudes. Sting a bit more and always found The Police ungodly boring.

 

this is like would you rather eat shit or bath in vomit.,

 

i just fliped a coin. U2 it is but faint praise

I'd rather listen to Joshua Tree today but when it came out I was falling out of love with U2 whereas Synchronicity hit me in full Police stride so I'll go with Synchronicity for the sake of nostalgia.

 

I chose Bono (is that a compliment?) because Sting is as bad as they get; he sets the standard.

I'm not big on either band.

[vaportrailer]

Love the Police, but Sting sure comes off like a pompous f*ckhead at times.

 

 

Stewart should've beaten him silly.

[blueschica]

It was close, I like everything! I think Synchronicity has better songwriting, though, so I went with that.

 

Bono throwing the peace sign everywhere drives me nuts; he bugs me a little more for some reason although both have heads that wouldn't fit through a doorway, I think.

And everytime I update iTunes that fricking free album shows up again!

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Super close, great poll, Earl!

 

I think I’ll go with Joshua Tree and Bono for my love of Ireland and my Irish heritage and how that music has helped me connect with Ireland. But I have to say, Synchronicity was the first vinyl record I ever dropped a needle on, in fact the first one I ever heard, and the sound of the needle gliding over the groove into the keyboard riff at the start of Synchronicity I is basically what made me realize I NEEDED a record player and a record collection, one of the greatest realizations I’ve ever had.

 

Also Sting is an incredible songwriter with a great, unique voice.

[invisible airwave]

Joshua Tree was one of the first albums I had. My older cousin got me into them and INXS. Also, it doesn’t have the godawful Mother.

 

Bono is worse than Sting just for his allegiance to Monsanto.

[ReRushed]

Wow.

 

I was there for both.

 

Both albums were the center of the universe.

 

Both tours were the center of the universe.

 

Must-haves and must-sees.

 

I was in high school for Sychronicity.

 

I was in college for The Joshua Tree.

 

Loved both albums and both concerts bring back wonderful memories.

 

U2 always meant more to me.

 

Sting is an arrogant egotistical douche. He brushes you away as insignificant.

 

Bono is an elitist condescending bore. He wants to bug ya. He bugs me.

 

Oh yeah, Amnesty International Tour at Giants Stadium. Bono and Sting singing "Invisible Sun"! Great memory!

I've liked both bands, and groups. "U2", has been one of my favorite bands, and groups, and "the Police" behind them. I've chosen, and picked by voting for "U2". Edited May 31, 2019 by Derek19
