Another chance to humour me...

[LCK]

To quote Sideshow Mel from the Simpsons "I've been living on Mars...in a cave...with my fingers in my ears" and have never, ever heard U2 (no fainting, this is hypothetical). Anyway, YOU get to initiate me to this wonderful new band, so choose 6 songs 2 early years, 2 mid-years, and 2 recent- to best represent them and make an instant fan out of me.

My choices:

Early Years: Electric Co. Tomorrow

Mid-Years: New Year's Day; One Tree Hill

Recent: Beautiful Day; Kite

Who could possibly resist them?

 

[gav6519]

early years: out of control + October
mid years: where the streets have no name + until the end of the world
recent: please + walk on

 

[Axver]

Early years: 11 O'clock Tick Tock and Gloria.

Mid years: New Year's Day and Heartland.

Recent Years: Gone (Best Of 1990-2000 New Mix) and Walk On.

 

[maro_chik]

Early years: Out Of Control and Gloria

Mid-years: ISHFWILF and UTEOTW

Recent years: Beautiful Day and Elevation (Tomb Raider Mix)

 

[alexvilagosh]

Early years: Out Of Control and SBS (is that early enough?)

Mid-years: WOWY and UTEOTW

Recent years: Beautiful Day and Gone

 

[Catman]

Hey, nice topic! It's a little tough, but here goes nothing...


Beginning: Out of Control; New Year's Day

Middle: Where the Streets Have No Name; One

Recent: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me; Beautiful Day


Yep, I don't think anyone can resist these songs

I made this 10 track CD for my friends who just think of U2 as Beautiful Day, and to show them they are not just that kind of music. It had:

1 - Zooropa
2 - Mofo
3 - The Lounge Fly Mix
4 - Numb
5 - Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk
6 - Lemon
7 - Wake Up Dead Man
8 - Zoo Station
9 - Dirty Day
10 - The Playboy Mansion

I called the cd 'U2: De-Elevation'.

 

[Axver]

I'd question the placement of The Playboy Mansion on that CD ... I find it a terribly boring song, to be perfectly honest.

 

[alexvilagosh]

It wasn't meant to be a best-of cd, it was meant to show the other side of U2 (the non-Beautiful Day one).

 

[madonna's child]

out of control and new year's day
pride and where the streets have no name
mysterious ways and beautiful day

 

[Axver]

It wasn't meant to be a best-of cd, it was meant to show the other side of U2 (the non-Beautiful Day one).

Yeah, I understand that ... I just probably would've selected something else myself. But each to their own.

 

[discothequeLP]

Out of Control- Sunday Bloody Sunday

Where the Streets Have No Name- Desire

One- Beautiful Day

(Walk On- Electrical Storm?)

 

[frenchie1970]

out of control and tomorrow
a sort of homecoming and i still haven't found what i'm looking for
mofo and kite
(but i would argue to add one and stay)
