I would like to talk about my most favourite band of all, U2. I guess anyone in this forum should know them and at least one of their songs. What do you thin of them? Do you have a favourite/hate song? Is Bono's political behaviour positive or negative... Lemme hear your opinions!

Well, "Beautiful Day" is my favorite song. They are one of the few groups that made good songs. This generation's music apreciation is poor so I'm glad that youre not one of them. Hooray for U2 (get it? You too (U2))??? LOL

Yes, in fact I don't know many who like this kind of music, too. My favourites are Love Is Blindness, Discotheque, Mysterious Ways and Sometimes You Can#t Make It On Your Own... Great songs to sing along or to make a funny dance (Discotheque ;).

I like much of their stuff up to the "Joshua Tree"-album, but after that it was more or less downhill... except for "Vertigo", which is a pretty damn good song... :ok:

Bits and pieces, if I'm in the right frame of mind. Their albums are always full of filler though.

What a good band they are.... My favorite songs are in "the best of 1980 -1990" album. However, I think their recent albums are good as well.

:band:

sunday bloody sunday and one. dont like there new stuff tho.

@Scarface: Hopefully, you already discovered the hidden track, October.

Many people think they got worse after The Joshua Tree, but I think it's only that many couldn't handle the change of style the next albums brought. All these guys should listen to the two newer albums, which came a little bit closer to the old days...

Oh yeah, Discoteque and Vertigo are to of the best. Thanx 4 reminding meh.

I like City of Blinding Lights alot.

sweet i found my old u2 tape they rule i forgot they did

I recognize their amazing talent, and Bono is really good, but I'm not too partial to their music

for me i like very much u2 my, favorite song is sunday bloody sunday,i this times no music is better that they make... :whistle:

they are my favs too! and i have tickets for their Vertigo tour!!!

Anyway i have to say that the ''All the things you can't leave behind'' Album is their best.

thge best album for me is Achtung Baby it is ther best ,the last albuns i don´t like very much.... :kosta:

also i found my second u2 tape i forgot i had what a day i found 2 u2 tapes and i might have more

Anyone seen Bill Bailey's impression of a catastrophic effects failure at a U2 concert? Absolutely hilarious :D

Congratulations! I were on their concert this august in munich, unbelievable! Never had such feelings before (it was my first u2-concert and I'm still quite young).

To ATYCLB: The first 7 songs are just amazing, but afterwards the only highlight for me is New York, the rest can be quite boring...

I love U2.

Bloody Sunday...

I liked U2 back in the old days. Joshua Tree is a good album... To what comes to the new albums, one of my favorite reviewers might shed a light on you about what I think of them now.

This no-lifer? :[img]http://www.abandonia.com/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' />

If anything REALLY sucks, then people that spend their whole life writing on the internet about how much everyone else sucks... :ok:

Umm... what is U2, anyway?

Some type of submarine i think. :D

@ Lethe : Wow ! That reviewer sure is pissed ! The french translation is very good though ! :ok:

Eheh yes, but you could say the same to those that started websites trying to make his close. :whistle:


Plus, he does have his good, meaningful moments, in his very own satirical way:

I dont know what to say about U2. Their only song ive heard is Bloody Sunday.

U2...its a nice name.

Before it was a band, high-altitude recon jet, or submarine, it was one of these:

Polikarpov U-2 (later Po-2) biplane

From Wikipedia:
That's just nifty. To get back on-topic, U2 was the first band I ever saw in concert, on March 21, 1992, in Albany, NY. Great show.

Of course Fruit Pie would know the answer!!!! :ok:

I like all there albums (even the new stuff) but there older stuff is still my favourate.

But the band STILL named themselves after the espionage-plane and not after the russian biplane... :D ;)

And for the pun. :D
