invisible airwave Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) TJT was one of my first albums. My older cousin got me into them and INXS. Queen has a more consistent discography, though. Their last 3 albums are crap, free or not, and Bono is a wanker which reminds me of a joke I read once. What's the difference between God and Bono? God doesn't walk around Dublin thinking that he's Bono. Edited May 28, 2021 by invisible airwave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 U2 in the eighties is LEGENDARY U2 in general are f***ing annoying Queen on the other hand don't have as much of a hold on me as the best U2, but they are the better band because they are way more easy to love as people, and they never stunk like U2 at their worst. So, Joshua Tree wins, and then so does Queen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything from Boy through Zooropa at least (maybe minus some parts of Rattle And Hum) is magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 U2 have never done anything for me, while I looooove Queen. Especially 70's Queen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I really am not a fan of U2 ( probably put off by ultra ego-maniac Bono!!) but The Joshua Tree is a pretty good album, and maybe one of their best. So U2 get the album vote but Queen get the overall band vote from me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 For a day out, I`d visit Joshua Tree over the Races. I`ll pick the album too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoopid Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 U2's early-mid career material still holds up okay for me (Boy through Achtung Baby). For as much as I should like Queen, I've never fully connected with most of their material. Same with Bowie. It is what it is (subjectivity). U2 were an important band for me growing up, something I could share an appreciation with my parents. Then I wandered off to enjoy other music genres, and when I tried to get into Zooropa and Pop a few years after their releases, I realized I 'outgrew' U2 entirely only to occasionally spin JT, War, and Rattle & Hum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So U2 get the album vote but Queen get the overall band vote from me. :goodone: My thoughts as well. If it were a different Queen album, or different U2 album it wouldn't be as clear for me; I really like Queen more. Joshua Tree is just an outstanding album, though. Queen for overall band, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted the same way, as chance would have it . . . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly puts me off their music unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Wembley gig. I highly suggest Nightwish live because there is a beauty to their performances that I think is more impactful for newer fans, and Floor covers all eras of the band vocally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
