If You Have Never ever Listened To any Other Album Before,, You've Just Got To Listen To This One.... One coolie Water Sandwhich... Farm Out Carl... Outta state... Gravy Man... Can You Dig It???.. She's running To stand Still...

I give, what is the purpose of this post. That album has been out for almost 25 years.

It makes total sense. You just have to hold it to a mirror and read it.

It's never too late to listen to the old stuff.. It's far better than today's cr*p anyway.

I think someone got into the shine.

Achtung Baby was a better album, U2 at their best.

Steve

I disagree.

The Unforgettable Fire was U2 at their peak of creativity, with the Joshua Tree then being their descent, even though that was still a really good album. Everything after that was them on auto-pilot, recycling the sound that made them once unique (thanks, to Steve Lillywhite, Brian Eno and Danny Lanois).

Vertigo was the only song that I've heard in at least the last 20 years that's been the exception; a throw-back to when they meant something.

Sorry, had to let that out.

The Unforgettable Fire the peak of creativity for U2, really? While a great record, it really was the album that showed that they were not going away soon, there is some classic stuff on it. But Achtung Baby was light years ahead in their growth as a band. There is not one track that sucks on it. They got really weird on Zooropa & Pop, but rebounded well since.

I have seen them 5 times so far, really one of the best live shows you can see in rock music. I was at shows in Chicago '06 Vertigo tour DVD release.

To each his own. I've seen U2 only once, so you are more a fan than me. It was during the Unforgettable Fire tour, though. I saw them at Massey Hall in Toronto, a theater that seats about 2,700, on Dec 7, 1984.

And what drugs did you hit today?

Wow this is an odd thread, I love u2 music. I think Bono is a moron. I don’t understand why musicians, and actors end up biting the hand that feeds them.

I've never seen them in concerts; I pretty much like studio music. I've only seen a few bands in live, heart, Kiss, skynard. Back in the 70's like 1976, 1977 in Worcester Massachusetts. Wasn’t worth the money huge stadium, couldn’t see sh!t . So loud it was distorted. Just a big crowd of wasted kids.

Drugs of choice back then, weed, hash, hash oil , and LSD . Now nothing at all don’t even drink , waste of time.

WIDE AWAKE IN AMERICA, first U.S. release. two songs that's it, flip the tape over, same two songs. anthem,stadium rock doesn't get any better. joshua tree best album.

I'll take some of whatever he's havin. LOL !!!!

Don't Look back Now,, Devils on The loose...... Oh Lord,, Stuck with A Lard A$$ Again...

Amazing that we are almost up to three pages on this thread. Pray tell, where are you going with this. It's almost like a mystery novel.

I like U2 but I can think of alot of other bands and musicians that make better music. I do like to play the one song with the backing choir(Be With You?) on Sundays. Closest I get to religion.

Ok, got it figured out- he was sealing his new patio with solvent based sealer... I am now on the same wave length..WOW -STRONG STUFF!

I really did not inhale!

Ronnie dunn Said " I'll fart In Waco "

I can still remember cranking this album when I was on my old submarine. Of course that was with a cassette player. Great memories.

'Physical Graffiti' by Led Zeppelin, 'Band of Gypsys' or 'Electric Ladyland' by Jimi Hendrix, or 'Brain Salad Surgery' by Emerson Lake & Palmer.. Now we're talkin' I like listening to the stuff that harkens back to the 'First Gen' days.. Bono is a living legend though with many hits to his credit.
