Favourite U2 songs.
 
Hi everybody. Right here is the place where you can list your favourite U2 songs. Come on, admit it. You DO like them, even if it's "uncool" (or whatever words the young people are using these days) to admit it.

I start with the Edge-riffery of "I Will Follow". What say you?

I don't think cool or uncool comes into it.

File alongside Phil Collins, Madonna, and Queen. Bad wedding music.

Best spam thread ever.

Bicorn Halfelven 06.15.2007 08:37 AM

I'll absolutely admit to owning and liking the first few records...

"I Will Follow" IS a great song...

Other favorites include "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Gloria", and "New Years Day".

bicorn, check this http://www.sonicyouth.com/gossip/sho...2&postcount=56

On a second thought, I think I like "Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car." Back in the days my bigger brother listened a lot to Achtung Baby and Zooropa.

Wait until atari sees this thread, unless he's been sedated for a few days.

Where the Streets Have No Name (but only the Pet Shop Boys' version)

Bicorn Halfelven 06.15.2007 08:47 AM

Negativland's "U2" ain't bad...

MellySingsDoom 06.15.2007 11:35 AM

Here's another one - New Year's Day

I pretty much like everything except Rattle and Hum, which isn't exactly a standard album anyway.

Fave song? Bad, maybe.

atsonicpark 06.15.2007 11:57 AM

every U2 song i've ever heard has the same exact chorus. it's just the title of the song repeated. and before anyone says, "yeah, lots of bands do that!" but i mean seriously... U2 is the worst offender. i find a lot of their earlier songs especially interchangeable.

that being said, they're probably the least annoying "godhead" bands from the 80's that critics still worship for whatever reason. unfortunately, my favorite song by them is probably that stupid batman forever song just because it has this really awesome riff in it in one part... remember u2's excursion into techno though? zaroopa. that was the stupidest shit known to man. and no one can forget...

"AYYYYYYY AYYYY YI YI DISCOTHEQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE."

god damn.

stupid stupid band with an overrated but still decent guitar player. bono can suck my fucking cock though.

I dont want to miss a thing.

atsonicpark 06.15.2007 12:13 PM

okay, changed my mind: "clocks"

Danny Himself 06.15.2007 12:42 PM

It would be so great to line U2 up against a wall and gun them all down. I can't describe how much fun it would be to shoot those ridiculous nascar shades off of Bono's face.

HECKLER SPRAY 06.15.2007 12:46 PM

Danny, I 'd never have thought you could be so violent !!!
But... You're damn right, I 'd like too. That'd be great !!
I can stand this band.

SYRFox 06.15.2007 01:06 PM

I like the ones that Diesel likes, but that's only because Diesel makes me laugh. Can't bloody stand the utes myself, load of old racket if you ask me.
