WHy? How is it meanigless? Integrity is very meaningful. Sometimes, it's all we have. And how is it invalid?

in the music industry, integrity doesn't mean shit.

that doesn't give you the right to make ridiculous claims saying that the edge is a derivative of johnny marr.

Maybe not always, but a lot of people have been able to retain they'r integrity while living a rock and roll lifestyle. It just vanishes from most people, but those people never really had integrity to begin with.

you're one of those ethically-absorbed "Fuck the man" people, aren't you?

kingcoffee · 07.30.2006, 08:23 PM

Kinda.

kingcoffee · 07.30.2006, 08:24 PM

Yeah.

Your opinion is flawless.

Cantankerous · 07.30.2006, 08:55 PM

fuck the man!

I never made the claim that The Edge was a derivative of The Smiths. I just said that anyone can make any claim that they want. I was merely supporting K-krak in his/her statement that the Edge sucks.

kingcoffee · 07.30.2006, 09:04 PM

Fuck em both.

Thank you for saying that.

U2 suck now. But in their prime (which has LONG since past), they had an original sound...sure they were mainstream (as if that's some sort of measure of how good a band is), but they were the exception, not the rule. Simple Minds and the Alarm mgith have thought they were in the same league, but they weren't.

If I someone bolted a set of headphones to my ears and forced me to listen to a U2 album over and over for the rest of my life, I'd rather it be The Joshua Tree.

As for the new poll, had it been done by writers or critics, instead of readers, I suspect Daydream Nation would have been on there instead of Goo.

btw, i take 80's u2 records over any smiths or morrissey record anytime.
