I'm trying, I really am. I am forcing myself to listen to this album once a day, every day, no skips! (Okay, I keep skipping the latter half of EBW because it annoys the hell out of me by that point). I still don't get it. I am not looking for an "instant classic" or even anything that has a...

I have to agree that that sounded like a cheap shot. What I meant, though, was that I could well imagine the boys finishing it up, giving it a listen, and realizing it wasn't going to sell as well as a new U2 album should. By giving it away, they could avoid any comparisons on that score. I was...

I browsed back a few pages, didn't see one. I am wondering if I somehow got a joke copy of SOI, because I don't hear one original or even interesting tune on SOI. What gives? This will be the first U2 album I will not have in my collection in over 30 years of being a fan. No wonder they gave it...

... that I had posted in some very old threads. I was searching my name to find a very old post when I realized all my old picture links were broken. So here's the links to the photobucket albums, if anyone is interested: U2 magazine pics mid-1980's (NOTE: I no longer have the originals) U2...

Has anyone seen this? Full song - nothing but a huge ad for Wrigley Field. Guess they gotta make money somehow these days. BTW, I saw it on youtube.

Of course he does! Where do you think the lyrics from Moment of Surrender came from?

Few years ago, I saw a College Park, GA used car dealer ad that ended with BD (just "It's a Beautiful Day" during the fade-out). I saw it several times over a period of weeks. Can't remember the name of the place though - and I'm pretty sure it wasn't licensed, but it was most definately U2.

nvm

Elvis Presley and America :P

Wish I knew what Karma gods I pissed off and how. But I never asked for pity. Feel bad for my friend who lost her first husband to suicide and was a reclusive shut-in who rarely left the house before meeting this new fellow. Yes, she's aware that he could be trying to exploit her to gain...

You know you're a redneck if your life sounds like a country song. Okay, here goes... (tl;dr - check the spoilers! The last one sums everything up!) One of my best friends has been married to a guy since last fall and has only spent 5 weeks with him, and only five of those days as a married...

I love this song.... guess I'm the wierd one... 10!

Unforgettable Foyer

If I could only pick one song: Mofo If I could pick two songs: Mofo and Mofo

The version on the AB outtakes is very nearly identical to the released version. If I recall correctly, it's a full band version as well.

Funny as hell, thanks!

I remember seeing U2 in an 'unplugged'-type setting, where they played songs and answered questions. This question came up. The reason given was that it is written in a different time (musically) than any other song they've done. Somewhere else I heard mentioned that they attempted to do this...

Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)

Most over-hyped album, past or present.

Hmm.. just got done reading that book, and you know? That doesn't have anything to do with this discussion. "Stranger in a Strange Land" is one of my favorites off of "October." It doesn't belong in the same category as "Playboy Mansion" or other U2 songs I despise (such as "Pride".)

:doh:

Gotta cheer for Elevation - yeah, I got annoyed with the heavy radio rotation, but I still love it. Why? Because it's a fun, nonsense song with alot of energy. There are alot of songs out there that have alot of energy, are fun to bang around to, and the lyrics are silly. But they don't win...
