Why is this news?

 

[chazman151]

U2 and Lindsay Lohan on the same CD.

There ought to be a law I tell you....

 

[maro_chik]

That's quite the playlist...

 

[TheFly7]

Who is Frickin' A???

Frickin A man.

 

[DaveC]

Now that's what I call shit.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

One of these things is not like the others...

U2 doesn't suck!

 

[Tennis05]

the lowpoint of being the biggest band in the world is obviously being lumped in with pop trash

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

U2's song is the only one I really like on this CD. There's a few other ones that are okay..."Collide", "What You Waiting For", "Lady", and "I Just Wanna Live" (I like the video for the last one), but the rest...eh, not songs I really care for much.

My sister, on the other hand...she'd LOVE this CD (and she does happen to like "Vertigo", too).

Gosh, there's some real trash on this thing.

 

[ramblin rose]

Ha, I just saw the TV commercial for this album. It opens with Vertigo (with scenes from the music video).

 

[Mac Phisto]

Unprecedented pop relevance shelf life is the reason this is newsworthy.

forget about the rest of the songs.

In the Uk we are now up to something like Now 40. U2 must have been on them more than anybody else. I remember my first LP being something like Now 4 back in the mid 80s, and U2 have been on most of the I'd say, from Pride right up to Vertigo.

This is good for one reason - these albums are always on the jukebox in the pubs so if there's no U2 album all you need to do is scour the 'Nows'!

CHeers,

Yeah, for the most part that's a big pile of U2 is being associated with.

I did like John Legend's performance on the gospel tribute on the Grammy's and have been meaning to check out his album. And "Lady" is my guilty pleasure song of choice at the moment. The video for it is beyond stupid, though.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Gosh, there's some real trash on this thing.

I really agree with that!!! (alot of trash, indeed!)

The only decent track (besides "Vertigo") is Gwen Stefani's
"What You Waiting' For??"

 

[Harry Vest]

Bunk!! Bunk!!! Bunk!!!!

at a record store here last wkend, i saw one album called
Anti-Idol, obviously referring to the American Idol Phenomena
and it starts off with Vertigo. I think The Killers and Hoobastank are there too. I actually took a quick scan but i can assure you U2 is in a much better company here. definitely no lindsays or snoops.
