You Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hey guys I haven't listened to anything after Achtung Baby. Which album would you recommend I check out from the newish U2 stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfit00 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 ^ Listen to Pop, All That You Can't Leave Behind, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, and lastly No Line On The Horizon. I am glad to see your interest. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hey guys I haven't listened to anything after Achtung Baby. Which album would you recommend I check out from the newish U2 stuff? Difficult question! No Line On The Horizon took me a few listens though to realise how brilliant it is. Probably the best album since Achtung Baby. Pop I feel is a little gem, and All That You Can't Leave Behind and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb are quite mainstream. However have you listened to Zooropa? It's like Achtung Baby - but sober. What I'm saying is listen to them all! Anyhow, does anyone have a favourite U2 performance they'd like to share? For me it's this one. Running To Stand Still (strangely the guy cut out Bono's harmonica piece?) and Where The Streets Have No Name from Zoo TV live in Sydney. Awesome, and the bridge between the two songs is fucking spine tingling! Particularly the moment Edge's guitar kicks in at the beginning of Streets!

Dfit00 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 ^ That's one of my favorite videos also. The Boss is so hardcore in there, that was back in 2005 when they were inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They also played Until the End of The World and Bono hugged Catherine Zeta-Jones! :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest howyousawtheworld Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 http://music.uk.msn.com/photos/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=151054229&page=1 U2's Pop has been included amongst 12 biggest album flops. Bit harsh considering they forgot the obvious ones like Robbie Williams's Rudebox. MSN comment that after Pop U2 went back into duller, more mainstream territory which if they knew anything cannot be applied to No Line On The Horizon. I think if U2 made another album like Pop, they would have been in serious danger of slipping outside the public eye altogether as Zooropa and Pop were by no means mainstream albums, albeit very good ones, especially Zooropa. I think a lot of people were pleanantly surprised when they heard Beautiful Day for the first time and thought 'wow, U2 are back!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplay_is_louve. Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 No Line on the Horizon is definitley the best album of '09, by far. But honestly, besides that album, this year wasn't very good for music. At all. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly, besides that album, this year wasn't very good for music. At all. :confused: I fully agree. If you wanna vote for BONO as Rockstar of the decade: There is a direct link here (copied from the relevant thread): http://www.nme.com/rate/rockstarsoft...last/18/rate/1 I just voted for him twice with an interval of 5 minutes (he wasn't in top 20 at my first vote with rating 10). After my second vote with rating 10 he was in position 18 with rating 4.00 . PLEASE VOTE for him over and over again. If you wanna vote for Chris Martin as Rockstar of the decade (with rating 10): There is a direct link here (copied from the relevant thread): Vote for him here: http://www.nme.com/rate/rockstarsofthedecade/13 When I voted for Chris 5 minutes ago with rating 10, he was no. 3 with 7.08. PLEASE VOTE for him over and over again. VOTE at least one time per day in the future weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancyk58 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 U2 are nominated in the International Duo or Band of the Year category in the annual NRJ Awards. The competition includes Greenday, Tokio Hotel, The Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys. There is a link on U2's website (I tried - in vain - to copy it to post it here). I just voted for BONO as ROCKSTAR of the decade. He is currently at no. 15 with an average rating of 3;89 and current rating of 3,92. I also voted for Chris who is currently at no. 3 with an average rating of 7:12 and current rating of 7:07. In the lead is still Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day with current rating of 8:94.
