endlesslymocking Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 So Vertigo was over played, and I liked it. And Miracle Drug was in Ghost Girl's signature. And I loved both of them. SO i borrowed How to dismantle an atomic bomb from my brother. WOW what a great band! I haven't heard any of their older stuff except Sunday Bloody Sunday and Pride. What should I try next?

Mustard Death Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I'd say go for The Joshua Tree. They played two shows here, one on Friday and one last night. The radio stations were freaking out. I'm still wondering how the people that went to the last tour can afford to make it to this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisibleairwaves Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Definitely The Joshua Tree. Another good one would be The Unforgettable Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor & the Jazz Bass Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Buy everything that was before Joshua Tree. That's when U2 was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Speaking of U2, they will be featured on 60 Minutes later this hour. They're the last scheduled story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I were at that show, believe it or not. I enjoyed it, even though I'm not a hardcore fan. My wife is a hardcore fan, however. (Beautiful Day was played as we walked into our wedding reception.) You can see us in the last row of the upper level, farthest possible seats from the stage. (Thank you, Ticketbastard.) Whatever one thinks of the band, one has to give Bono credit for what he does away from the stage. And U2 really does stand out in terms of the meaningfulness of their songs. (I still think Vertigo is a blatant theft of the Supremes' Keep Me Hanging On, though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just recently read an interview with him in Rolling Stone...TALK about ego...that man defines the word. He seriously thinks that he's the messiah or something and I'm not just saying that. And they did this little section where he "pretends to be a critic" and talks about each U2 album, and for all of them he was like "one of the top 10 albums of all time!" I've seen live footage of them and they do a great show, I'll give them that. But U2 puts me to sleep most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
