ponkine said:I think POP is not a forgotten masterpiece ... at least for the fans. Looking at any POP thread or "Best U2 album" or related polls, POP always ranks high and it's one of the fans favorites (including me of course !!)
Now with the band it's a different story: The band forced themselves to forgot POP, and that's really shameful They destroyed and sent to hell the POP songs (and Numb as well) included on "Best" of 1990-2000, they avoided to play POP and Zooropa numbers on recent tours, except for a few candies, etc
But I think things are changing, Bono cut his hair and looks like Popmart days, The Saints includes Boom Chas (and still nobody knows why ) and the band seems trying to leave behind (AT LAST) the OVERLONG ATYCLB era
Let's see what will happen in the near future
TALK ABOUT ... POP MUSIK
AMEN PONKINE.
I have nothing against the last two albums. They were right for the time. But U2's claims to keeping it fresh are in Jeopardy. Agreed. This last era is wearing out its welcome...like Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum did in the late 80's into the Lovetown Tour.
POP ROCKS. That's all there is to it.
