War Child
What is your favourite few seconds on each U2 record? Don't have to be in your favourite song, or even be representative of the album. Just the few seconds on the whole thing that work best sonically in the exact place they are in the song and in the track sequencing.
I'll start.
Boy: the guitar riff after "twilight...can't find my way"
War: Only recently heard this album (couldn't decide)
Unforgettable Fire: opening notes of Pride. (there are many 'moments' on this record, for me)
Joshua Tree: "And it comes like a hunter, child" - very cinematic sounding
Achtung: solo in Mysterious Ways, speaks for itself
Zooropa: the guitar during Stay's chorus. It's the best part of the song, IMO. Most people don't seem to like the electric version, but it's so full of atmosphere.
Pop: the heavenly bridge of The Playboy Mansion.
ATYCLB: Walk On: the thesis of the album, spoken over tambourine and piano
HTDAAB: Crumbs: don't like this song, but the verse about psychology and teeth with the double-tracked vocals sounding like a burp at 'ate' is wonderful.
Skipped October, don't own it. Skipped R&H, couldn't be arsed. I'd probably go for any time during the strings in AIWIY, though; who doesn't get shivers? Passengers - feel free to include it in your list.
And finally, a montage of all the bits. http:// w w w . plunder.com/-download-4b8bfd29.htm
Take a listen if you feel like it.
Your turn, Interference.
