early U2 before they turned into douchebags

Satan · 04.08.2010, 07:54 PM

they were really great up to war. the joshua tree and everything after it sucks. (is there an album in between those? who cares)

i will follow is fucking awesome

atsonicpark · 04.08.2010, 07:55 PM

Pax Americana · 04.08.2010, 08:03 PM

Agreed. I Will Follow is my fav U2 song, actually.

Satan · 04.08.2010, 11:19 PM

U2 used to be my favourite band when i was a kid

davenotdead · 04.09.2010, 01:24 AM

i've just never heard a song of theirs that i've liked... cept that their bad stuff is fun because its terrible. kind of like metallica's st. anger

Satan · 04.09.2010, 01:41 AM

different strokes.

we all know how dave likes to be stroked.

davenotdead · 04.09.2010, 01:43 AM

indeed.

akprodr · 04.09.2010, 07:11 AM

Hey, I was a fan of Eno, well slightly before U2--Bowie, Devo, THeads, etc. So I was very excited to hear the 'new' U2 and I still like 'em. Esp the new album--combines virtually all of their old tricks in a new and repackaged manner.

And I feel it is OK to like them because I got Grandfathered in since the first U2 album I bought was October. Loved the video for Gloria.

SuperCreep · 04.09.2010, 07:12 AM

douchedom aside, boy, war, the unforgettable fire, and achtung baby are all fine albums in my book, albeit each having varying amounts of filler.

tesla69 · 04.09.2010, 12:50 PM

they lost it for me after Boy...a looooong time ago

pbradley · 04.09.2010, 01:35 PM

The only U2 song I've ever liked. The lyrics are stupid, of course.

davenotdead · 04.09.2010, 02:30 PM

there's just so much stuff out there that is so much more interesting. u2 are almost as boring as coldplay.

boring is the worst thing a creative artist / musician can be

chicka · 04.09.2010, 02:57 PM

Edge has never grown on the guitar, 2 chords five albums.
