It really bums me out that u2 seem so set on pretending Pop never happened.
this has become such a fable
the thing that struck me when reading U2 by U2 (or whatever that book is exactly called) is that they talk about POP in the same way as about any of their other albums
the only difference seems to be that while they seem to hear mostly flaws when listening to their own albums that with POP they feel even stronger that the potential wasn't reached
U2 18 didn't have any songs on it from Boy, October, Zooropa and POP
Unforgettable Fire is only represented by Pride, no Bad and no Unforgettable Fire
Rattle & Hum is only represented by Desire!! No Angel of Harlem, no When love comes to town, no All I want is you
U2's setlist look about the same
except for Bad and the band bringing back songs from Boy during Vertigo
now where did the myth start that POP is the one album U2 is disowning?
they're doing it to about half their discography!!
