U2...the Very Very Best Of
 
There is a bit of a running debate going on at the moment,in the "What music are you listening to..." thread,about U2's best song.So im posting this new thread then we can all join in.I'll cast my vote later when iv'e finished listening to The Faces.:)

I like most of U2's, fell out with them a little when they were breaking America, the music was crap! My all time fav is Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses :)

slinky 16-11-2006 19:52

Re: U2...the Very Very Best Of
 
With or without you - love that song




Beautiful day - reminds me of my late DAD!!!! :)

Absolute top band, hard to find fault with any of their songs. Wild Horses will always be my fav though. To choose a top ten favourites of their songs I'd find really difficult and would probably have to change my choices daily :)

Tinks,you've just told us in another thread:rolleyes: I think U2 have had a great many good songs throughout their career.Two of my favourites are Still Have'nt Found What Im Looking For & Zoo Station,the latter because it opened the album Achtung Baby which marked a new direction for the band after their american odyssey,which a lot of fans never expected to happen.

flashy 16-11-2006 20:02

Re: U2...the Very Very Best Of
 
achtung baby is a great album BUT the joshua tree was better

Very difficult to choose just one,think With Or Without You would have to win,closely followed by One and All I Want Is You.

[quote=Tinkerbelle]Oh well I'm extremely sorry, I thought this was a chat about U2 that was seperate from the other thread :rolleyes: [quote]Indeed it is,and i'm sorry if isomehow infered otherwise:o I thought it would be a good idea to start this as there seemed to be a few U2 fans on the other thread talking U2,but maybe not neccassarily listening to them at the time(and it seemed inappropiate to tell folk iwas listening to something else when the topic was U2).So what did you think of the last album?Thought it was quite good myself,but the title was all wrong.Should either have been How To Disarm An Atomic Bomb or simply Atomic Bomb:cool:

Re: U2...the Very Very Best Of
 
One, With or Without You, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Where The Streets Have No Name, Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Will Follow - some of the greatest songs ever written by anybody.
Amazing band.

Beautiful Day is the best u2 song! Makes me think of football for some reason maybe because its on the championship where stnley are on now wahooo :D:D:D However the new u2 song with greenday is brilliant!

Tinkerbelle 07-01-2007 19:45

Re: U2...the Very Very Best Of
 
The video for the new U2 single, 'Window in the Skies' is genius ..... one of the best music videos I've seen in a very long time.

It includes footage of just about every legend in rock: Jimi Hendrix, Thom Yorke, Robert Plant, Karen O, Elton John, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, David Bowie, Frank Zappa, Elvis, Sinatra, Kanye West, George Harrison, Kurt Cobain and many, many more.

Thanks to brilliant editing, they've all been made to look as if they are singing the U2 song. See how many legends you can spot (and look carefully and you'll glimpse the members of U2 in crowd shots.)


shakermaker 07-01-2007 19:51

Re: U2...the Very Very Best Of
 
That is very very clever.

I don't quite know what to make of it though.
Is it homage to their idols or are they being pretentious to think that these greats would want to sing this song?
I'm not sure on that one.

Thanks for proving my little test there.
There's no reasoning with utter stupidity, you can only use their own moronic language to get something out of them....and it's still ****e at that.

Back to thread, yes U2 are a great band but I find them quite pompous these days to say the least, but the older songs speak for themselves. If that makes me negative then so be it.

Sorry flashy but I'm in total agreement, the old songs are the best, to me they have passed their sell by date.
