The rest of the album is shit.

Daddy's Gonna Pay is average, a little better live. Lemon is below average. Numb's cool for the first few listens, and then really unimpressive.

Axver said:Their screen name is a phrase Bono has re-used completely, thus it must be Bono. The only more likely suspect would be a poster known as "GetOutYourCellPhones".
The Numb video Even as a little kid, I was like "This shit is awesome " But seeing as I was like, eight years old when it came out, I doubt I used the word 'shit'Zootlesque said:I'm guessing you did not grow up watching these videos on MTV and enjoying that moment of popular culture at the time. Half of Numb's brilliance is in the video! Same with Lemon. It was such a great visual period for them.

No, let me tell you Zoots. I am totally the little girl that's smacking Edge around in the video. I even wore my hair like that back in the day!Zootlesque said:
I'm not sure if it's so much a case of needed the video to go with the song, as it is having been old enough to have known U2 at the time. In 1993 U2 were super hot and songs like Lemon and Numb were just incredibly awesome. There was no question about it.The Sad Punk said:That downgrades them a bit, don't you think? That you need visual aid to go with the music itself?

But then you have people that got into the band later, either with ATYCLB or HTDAAB, and they hear those songs and it just confuses them. Because they didn't get to hear them inside the context of 1993. If that makes sense

No spoken words said:PFan is younger than the Joshua Tree. By a few years. He didn't need to be there to recognize or acknowledge its brilliance.

If you needed to be there to appreciate the music, then the music is not all that good.
I love the Beatles. They recorded all of their albums but one prior to my birth. I was not there. Nor did I need to experience Beatlemania (which was a ton more powerful than the Numb video) to appreciate their music.
I liked Zooropa then, and I like it now. Numb I never liked, however, and never will. It's just not a song I like. But I don't think you can keep chalking people's negative opinions of music you like up to "not being there"...it demeans the music, and it demeans their opinion.

Zootlesque said:
You make good points. I love the Beatles too. And I wasn't even born when they broke up. So yeah I guess you don't need to be there. But I still can't shake off the feeling that "being there" only deepens your appreciation. If I had been fortunate enough to be a part of the psychedelic era in 1967, I'm sure I would be an even bigger fan of The Beatles!

Now, the year of my birth got The Joshua Tree. Only people born in 1984 could possibly argue they're doing better, and they don't have One Tree Hill.

Exactly!!! Thank you!
If you got into the band with ATYCLB, there is a good chance you will not understand much of Zooropa.
