almost any song released
after the unforgetabble fire
almost any song released before Achtung Baby
Nah 'n yeah
Kinda like Vertigo. Get On Your Boots...a real stinker! Heh
All that you can't leave behind
Or whatever it's called. Vertigo is a pop band trying to be something it's not. Also anything off How to dismantle an atom bomb. Or also Beautiful Day. It's like the fucking Stereophonics.
Beautiful Day is just so synonymous with football though
I find it sort of uplifting every single time i hear it. It will remain as ITVs one and only football related master stroke.
And also
though I sorta hate to admit it: it's a good U2-flag-waving-shit song. Harumph!
LEMON
Fuck. Arg. Hate.
And Discotheque. Fuck. Awful. Hate. Arg.
And I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight. Pure evil.
The Sweetest Thing
but mostly for the music video. Bono being his usual smug fucking self.
One
I also hate this song.
partly because it is smuggling a Christian message into a phoney lovesing that people play at weddings and christenings.
Smuggling Christian messages
into Christenings? The horror! ;-) (Or was that a joke?)
I've had enough of this bullshit
YOU ALL LOVE KASABIAN, I RECEIVED NO BACKUP IN THE KASABIAN THREAD.
listen to War.
Great album.
Unforgettable Fire.
Great album.
Dicks
soviet troll come out swinging
E-LE-VA-TION
btw others.
Came here to post this.
Awful amount of unneccessary whooping.
The Playboy Mansion
From a much maligned album which nevertheless has a few sparkling moments, this is a tightly coiled, steaming little pile of sixth-form poetry lyrics and little in the way of a tune.
I went to see them at Glastonbury being a booo U2 suck kind of guy
They came out and played a load of 80s stuff like Even Better Than The Real Thing etc. And I thought it was actually pretty good.
Went down like a lead balloon. When they started playing Vertigo and all that shite everyone went nuts.
Peace on Earth.
It's like they realised they'd accidentally done a brilliant song in Wake Up Dead Man and needed to make the same song again - only really really really really really really really really really really shit.
Stuck in a moment (you cant get out of)
Just f**king awful, written about michael hutchence i think which makes it all the more grating.
Not the worst band of all time
But at their worst, certainly one of the most tedious. I don't really have a problem with their explicitly political songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday - a bit naive but at least their hearts are on the right place. But smug, karaoke Stones trash like Vertigo and Get on Your Boots makes me feel pretty ill.
There are literally thousands of bands
that are worse and/or more tedious than U2. Everyone here probably likes quite a few of them.
stuck in a moment
Most patronising thing EVAH!
The only punch I've ever thrown
Was when someone in school said jim Kerr was better than bono.up until the age of 12 I thought bono was god.i was really obsessed but grew out of it once I hit puberty.
I also once wrote a letter to his wife
Asking if she wasn't with Bono would she consider going out with me.i just remembered this..oh the things you do as a 12 year old.
