My ranking, in order is....

not bad. i'm trying to find where i've posted my list before, and all i can find is where i've posted my top 15 U2 songs. ugh.

 

[the tourist]

Errands. I've returned.

I don't think I'm up for another DI playlist. I need a bit of a break, methinks.

Ahh, I see. You're wanting to listen to the Bowie album you just got. I see how it is.

My ranking currently is based not only on the songs, but on the production of those songs.

The Unforgettable Fire
War
Boy
Achtung Baby

I also bought Explosions in the Sky's Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever.

 

[the tourist]

PFan, ours are very similar.

Gotcha. And I understand. I took a break last night and listened to Pedro the Lion.

 

[phillyfan26]

Yeah, I ran through Screwtape's and Axver's playlists in two consecutive days. They're exhaustive listens.

 

[the tourist]

Yeah, those would be. I am putting off/dreading Axver's.

 

[the tourist]

In fact, I'm taking a break again now, mid playlist.

 

[phillyfan26]

Axver's was my favorite too. Just tired now.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

My ranking currently is based not only on the songs, but on the production of those songs.

1. achtung baby
2. unforgettable fire
3. pop
4. the joshua tree
5. zooropa
6. boy
7. october
8. passengers
9. war
10. rattle and hum

12. atyclb

I used to like Achtung Baby a lot more until I heard the songs performed live and realized how shit the production is. How much it muddled the actual performance. I like it less and less everyday.

and Zooropa's just as bad.

 

[LemonMelon]

So, are we bitching about Achtung Baby's production again? Save me a spot!

So, for the baseball fans in here, Felix Hernandez is 8 innings into a shutout today. If he completes the shutout, that'll be 16 innings with no earned runs for him beginning the season.

 

[phillyfan26]

The defenders of U2 in that "relationship with the fans" thread are fucking morons.

 

[the tourist]

Dead thread (again).

 

[the tourist]

Might as well talk myself up to 9200.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm giving Black Holes And Revelations a more serious listen right now.

Take A Bow has always sounded pretty awesome to me.

It's not as good as Absolution, but it's a good album.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

today is dragging by. i can't believe i've only been at work for three hours.

 

[LemonMelon]

It's not as good as Absolution, but it's a good album.

The first three tracks are all great, but it gets inconsistent after that. Invincible makes my skin crawl.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

you guys are talking about muse, right? i've only heard a couple of their songs. i can't decide if i'd like them or not.

The middle is really inconsistent. I like Exo-Politics, though.

Yeah, we are. I have Absolution, and have listened through BHAR. But that's pretty much it. I also like Citizen Erased.

 

[the tourist]

Origin of Symmetry is a great record.

 

[LemonMelon]

I think I may like BHAR more than Absolution. The lyrics on that album are simply too ridiculous and sci-fi for me. It's like a bad star trek script.
