U2

[firestorm701]

just wondering what everyone else's thoughts are about U2, because they are my favourite band, just wanted some input from you guys

later dayz

[Crusader]

This is like the 3rd U2 thread hah. U2 is awesome, anything from Achtung Baby and older are awesome.

[Tim]

anything from Achtung Baby and older are awesome.

Agreed.

 

I'm really not feeling the new album though.

[Crusader]

It's... bland.

[Tim]

It's... bland.

You said it, brother.

[S.E. Hardy]

Love U2. Like the new album. *Love* Joshua Tree.

[miles2025]

My favourite band also ;)

 

Their last two albums have been average at best. But Pop is my second favourite of theirs!! So underrated. Achtung Baby is the best though, and yes, they were much better in the 80's.

[glassjaw]

not really a big fan of u2 anymore

 

now if they never played them on the radio again, I'd love them ever so much more

[here is no why]

Amazing band. They will never re-create the music they had in their early years, however, they stil put on one hell of a good show. The last couple cd's have been pretty meh... but I agree, i think Pop is on of their best cd's.

[firestorm701]

i agree, U2's early music is definitely their best, best i cant believe that some of you dont like All That You Can't Leave Behind, and How To Dismantle... has some amazing songs on it as well... ima start a poll to decide the best U2 album

 

by the way my favs are, in order

1. Achtung Baby

2. Joshua Tree

3. All That You Can't Leave Behind

4. Boy

5. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb

 

 

however, my fav songs of all time are

Sunday Bloody Sunday, Discotheque, and I Will Follow

[failingtherorshachtest]

Great New Album. Great Band. Great Concerts. Great Post.

[Ravenous Yam]

Not a fan of U2. Don't really have anything against them either.

No strong feelings either way; theyre not my thing.

[firestorm701]

thats a shame man, you are missing out

[radio_bomb]

Simply put, U2 is the greatest band in the world and one of the best all-time.

[matt123good321]

not a huge fan of U2, but i've only heard they're more recent stuff

[firestorm701]

radio, you are also my hero... i need to stop getting new heros

[Guest jsunC]

U2's not my favourite band, but its definetly worth checking out a couple of their earlier cd's..

[rmak]

gotta give them love

[C-Bacon]

OOOOOOOOOOOverrated

[firestorm701]

you deserve to die

 

 

how can the band with the highest percentage of listeners on the planet be overrated

 

explain that one

 

the band who had the first EVER million sold album

 

the band that has 11 full length albums, 2 best of's, and 6 ep's, that add up to a total of 446 songs, not counting b-sides, which were released on a second cd on the best of's

 

the band who is still pumping out amazing music 24 years after their debut album

 

the band that has given the most money to charity out of any other band in the world

 

the band that has an estimate worth 20 - 30 million dollars NORTH of 1 billion dollars

 

that right, U2 is worth 1.03 BILLION dollars

 

so no, they're not overated

I have been a U2 fan for over ten years. I have vivid memories of being 9 years old and lip-synching to "The Fly" and "Mysterious Ways"on the radio. The last two albums are great, but Bono's voice has changed so much I prefer the older albums, like Rattle and Hum. But they give great shows. Anybody going to see them on the next tour?

[firestorm701]

hell yes dude

 

i am already saving money

 

i am buying front row tix

[HoboFactory]

How timely.

limp bizkit has millions of fans.... millions and millions of fans..

 

so because the majority of people apparently like u2, that makes them somehow more worthy of praise?

 

and they release a lot of songs and are still making music.. and that somehow makes them wortht? there's a shitty band called anal cunt that puts out cds with 40 songs on them.. by now i'm sure they have thousands of songs.. heil anal cunt.

 

so in summary, a lot of people like u2, u2 is worth a lot, they refuse to stop making music, and they have a best-of compilation.. wow.

 

your points prove nothing.

 

(britney spears and korn have greatest hits albums, too)

[mgb7m3]

yeah but U2's greatest hits (and non-hits) are actually good songs that will withstand the test of time.
