....if thats what it might have been called a year ago. Whatever, I wanna hear them original tracks from when the album was supposed to be finished last year. But I guess we never will.

You're starting to sound like a broken record. At this point U2 could release demos of Bono farting over the music to Vertigo and you'd call it unpolished genius.

I was referring to your preference for the Fast Cars and Vertigo demos to the "real" thing.
And I don't like everything U2 does. I think Miami and If God will Send his angels are good ideas poorly executed. I think most of the live tracks on the Rattle and Hum album are mediocre or just plain weak by U2 standards. I think that most of the new songs on Rattle and Hum are weak by U2 standards with the exception of AIWiY, God Part II and Heartland.
Most of October is mediocre at best, although Gloria and Tomorrow are lost classics. I love the SOUND of that album though. Just some weaker songs.
Red Light and the Refugee are best forgotten. Permanently forgotten. They're the reason War has faded a bit for me even with 3 undeniable all time U2 classics and several other strong tunes.
I love Zooropa but Babyface and Some Days just don't do it for me.
I love Unforgettable Fire but Wire and Indian Summer Sky don't really excite me that much.
ATYCLB has some great tracks but New York hasn't aged particularly well to my ears. Neither has PoE or Grace.
I can single out songs on almost all of their albums excepting AB, JT and HTDAAB.
Hopefully this will put to rest any misconceptions about me loving everything the band does. I've loved all the different "eras" of U2 music but not every individual song.

Err can you point to the thread where I said anything about Fast Cars??? I said that Native Son sounding interesting and would have liked to hear the others, and I just said that the final album sounds overproduced.
The thing that interests me is Steve Lilywhites comment in the DVD documentary. He said, about Sometimes You Can't, that the song had no chorus and they added the damn falsetto bit. Well I would love to hear the song when Chris Thomas had produced it a year ago without the falsetto, cos in my opinion that is a good song ruined by the falsetto. Now if this is the case on other tracks as well then the album version a year ago would make very interesting hearing.
