Oh, I haven't been to this forum for some days and now I see such interesting themes! Like ones like that.
TheEdge25, thank you. I'll join you, OK? Moreover not long ago I listened to all U2 albums and I have something to say about every one of them, though I don't know the creation of U2 much and still the preferences can change again and again.
To say about Zooropa:
Outstanding/Masterpieces:
1 - Stay/Faraway, so close! - I agree with the majority of people: really the best song from the album. As I remember by now, exactly this song improved me to listen to U2 again, after what I loved them again, and more, than before.
2 - Babyface - Beautiful track. That's strange that it wasn't released as a single.
3 - Dirty day - Even at first listening to the album, when I didn't like it at all, I remembered this song. Now I love it, especially in live version from ZOO TV. The ending of the song is so powerful.
4 - Zooropa - When I listen to this track, I remember such songs as "Stairway to heaven" in case of uncustom kind of structure of the song.
5 - Numb - A bit strange, no ordinary song. One of the most experimental songs of U2. Love it.
Just good.
6 - Lemon - Quite good track.
7 - Daddy's gonna pay for your crashed car - Sounds like some kind of having fun, but good. Love that "a-ha, sha-la".
8 - The first time - Ballad...
Don't like.
9 - The wardener - I was suprised by the fact that U2 are not singing here and that this part of work did Johnny Cash. But I don't like the track not because of him, but because the track at all don't impress me. I like only its ending played by guitar (?). Listening to this song, I understand what was meant by the phrase in Wikipedia that, initially, the album was planned as an EP.
10 - Some days are better than others - Don't like the song at all.
