If you were to make a mix of 16 to 20 songs that you'd consider some of U2's more experimental stuff, what would it be?
I'm not talking about the songs that are experimental for them but are actually just them taking on a different genre (like Love Rescue Me or The Unforgettable Fire) but songs that are really going in different territories. And it'd have to be from all era's; not just the 90's + NLOTH.
I'm really struggling with a list. What would it be for you?
Boy - Can't think of anything. As great as it is, it blends in with the post punk era
October - same
War - Seconds & Sunday Bloody Sunday
The Unforgettable Fire - Bad
The Joshua Tree - Streets, ISHFWILF, WOWY, One tree hill (?)
Rattle & Hum - Nothing really
AB - Zoo Station, WGRYWH, So Cruel, The Fly, Acrobat
Zooropa - Zooropa, Numb, DGPFYCC
Passengers - Your Blue Room
Pop - LNOE, Gone, Please
Million Dollar Hotel - TGBHF
ATYCLB - New York
HTDAAB - ? Xanax and Wine, Native Son maybe?
NLOTH - NLOTH, MOS, UC, GOYB, Fez: BB, Winter
Some of these are such longtime staples that they don't sound groundbreaking anymore, Streets, WOWY, Bad, SBS, but there really was nothing that sounded like them previously in the history of rock and roll; at least to me.
Zooropa was full of different sounds, but much of it was early 90's r&b pop based.
Passengers was a lot of different stuff, but a lot of people were doing ambient instrumentals back then.
Pop to me was at best ABII remixed and at worst genre whoring (I DO NOT want to get into another Pop discussion please; well, maybe
)
Beautiful Day, Elevation, Kite had new sounds *in* those songs, but overall we'd heard it before.
Vertigo was maybe the closest to new ground on HTDAAB, but really wasn't anything new. Fast Cars was just a simple pop song with an arabic undertone; nothing new there. SYCMIOYO sounds a little different to me than your average pop ballad, but I still feel like I've heard it before even though I can't place it.
Anyone provide some additions to the list?
