Elvis Ate America - Worst recording involving a U2 member ever.

 

[corianderstem]

Holy shit, that's a lot of songs. Oy.

Gotta go with the glaringly obvious here.

Elvis Ate America

 

[No spoken words]

EAA.

 

[phillyfan26]

This is a 24 hour album, so it will go at essentially the same speed as Boy or October went.

 

[coolian2]

I was going to say i'd vote on this in the morning because i haven't listened to Passengers in aaaaaaaaaaages, but i know when to be a sheep (haw haw haw)

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, I need to listen to this one in the next day or so. I can only pick two of those songs out of a lineup.

 

[Zoots]

Ito Okashi is pretty unmemorable. I know cos I don't remember it much.

 

[Axver]

Elvis Ate America is the very worst U2* song ever.

*If you do not accept Passengers as a U2 album, please convert "U2" to "U2-related" in the sentence above.

Ito Okashi is pretty unmemorable. I know cos I don't remember it much.

You're getting good at wasting votes


Wasting anything makes Al Gore sad

 

[Tiger Edge]

Where's the "Vote off the whole album" button??

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I actually have a slight soft spot for Elvis Ate America. It's incredibly fun to sing. That said, I certainly understand why its disliked.

My vote went for A Different Kind of Blue though. God Brian Eno gives me the creeps on that song

There's singing in that song?

 

[coolian2]

Where's the "Vote off the whole album" button??

Its the little X in the top right corner of your screen

 

[Tiger Edge]

Its the little X in the top right corner of your screen

I mean


is the new

 

[phillyfan26]

On ATYCLB.

 

[Zoots]

is the new

That should have replaced Reckoner.

 

[Tiger Edge]

That should have replaced Reckoner.

And when I say I mean

 

[Axver]

On ATYCLB.

Yeah, it would be useful on that album.

Passengers, however? Third best thing U2 have done behind UF and JT. Incredible atmospheres.

 

[phanan]

Elvis, obviously.

You might be able to start three polls in one night...

 

[Varitek]

I actually have a lot of trouble accepting most of the album as U2 songs, especially the songs with vocals by people who aren't U2.

EAA sucks more than anything else, including Red Light.

 

[Varitek]

Yeah, it would be useful on that album.

Passengers, however? Third best thing U2 have done behind UF and JT. Incredible atmospheres.

I disagree, I can easily put AB and R+H above, and everything else I'm too drunk to make a decision on. But that doesn't mean Passengers is 5th at all, because it isn't. Pop beats it too I think.

 

[Axver]

I'm sure we can both agree on one thing though: had EYKIW existed at the time, it would have been hilarious when Passengers came out!

 

[Diemen]

If Your Blue Room doesn't win this I will lose all faith in humanity.

You have all been warned.

Bonos vocals on A Different Kind Of Blue ZOMG!!!!!!1111eleven

 

[Axver]

Psh, Slug is the clear winner here. I've lost faith in you now.

 

[Axver]

Bonos vocals on A Different Kind Of Blue ZOMG!!!!!!1111eleven

Why is Edge singing in Korean on Iko Oshati?????

 

[Diemen]

You're an odd one, Ax. Slug is probably my second favorite out of this list, but it's got nothing on YBR, except the synth atmospherics.

 

[fandangamoq]

On ATYCLB.

You win the thread.


I bet if we just said that Your Blue Room is the winner we would have roughly 2 people complain.

 

[the tourist]

Elvis Ate America. Easy.
