Does your friend still have extra GAs? Would be interested in one, if you can pass on the information :)

Pearl Jam are definitely in the league of The Who, as far as commercial success goes. Artistically, IMHO they'd need a few more great albums to be regarded in the same league as the bands above. However, PJ are definitely one of the greatest bands around, and are definitely a tough contender to...

I'd say that Achtung Baby beats everything DM's done, both artistically and emotionally. I'd also like to say that I'm a fan of DM's work (86-98), and although their latest album didn't impress me that much, I'd definitely rank them as one of the greatest bands of the last decades. I think...

Bullet The Blue Sky became a good song during ZooTV, but the version on JT lacks everything that makes it so great (production being the key factor here). Just compare the version on R&H to the ZooTV-version, and you'll notice how different Edge's guitar sounds ("exploding" being the right word...

Please explain what you mean by this....[/B] JT's first three songs are as great as rock can get, but then we get such duds as Bullet The Blue Sky (which later on the ZOOTV-tour morphed into a great live-song), Mothers of the Disappeared (which, frankly, is the worst album-closer in the band's...

The Wall contains some great songs, but particularly the first disc is so damn boring, it always puts me asleep... DSOTM has does also contain great songs, but please, don't tell me "The Great Gig In The Sky" is a great song - it's fucking pretentious, if anything... BTW, Joshua Tree doesn't...

IMHO, "The Wall" is one of the most over-rated pieces of music ever recorded. Then again, "Wish You Were Here" is certainly a great album, and I guess "Dark Side Of The Moon" is another fine one too(although the album has the word WANKERS written all over it)

Atleast the 1999 version of the Guinness book provides this info. To be accurate, the total attendance, according to the book, was between 180,000 and 184,000, and the exact date was April 21th, 1990. The book also claims that Tina Turner had an attendance of 180,000 at the same stadium in...

Sting, The Guinness-book doesn't provide any additional info, just that Macca holds the record as the artist with the biggest ticket-buying attendance during one show. As for the capacity of the stadium - I know for a fact that the Maracana stadium had an attendance of over 200,000 during a...

According to the Guinness Book of Records, Paul McCartney holds the record for largest attendance at a single show, with the number being 189,000 at the Maracana-stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (this might also give the answer to MBH's question about the biggest stadium in the world).

IMHO, if it's OK to call Oasis a Beatles cover-band, then it's also justified to claim that U2 have been doing the same song forever, Edge playing the same riff forever etc. etc. The Beatles are an obvious influence on Oasis, but they are definitely not the only one (or even the biggest one) -...

You're right. Those two albums had zero impact on what happened in British rock in mid-90's. Nirvana's "Nevermind" wasn't influential either, nor was the The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". No, they weren't influential at all... [This message has been edited by holyjoe5...

1. Liam's (as well as Noel's) comments should be taken with a grain of salt. 2. If Oasis ever ripped anyone off, then it's T-Rex, not the Beatles! 3. "Definitely Maybe" and "What's The Story Morning Glory" are two of the greatest and most influential albums of the 90's!

This leads me to ask if we're talking about *influential* to the consumers, or to popular-music in general? Granted, Sum 41 sold more albums, and are therefore more influential to the average guy out there, but if we're talking about music, then I bet New Order's latest will be the more...

All I can say, is that the list is a JOKE!!! Something's gotta be very wrong when bands like Linkin Park, Sum 41 and Creed are considered to be in the Top-20 of the most relevant artists. Where's R.E.M.??? Where's Depeche Mode??? Where's New Order??? Where's Sigur R?s??? I bet all of those are...

I'm deeply sorry if that's the case (Sum 41 being more influential than, let's say, New Order who released one of last year's finest albums). But then again, even if the list would be perfect, I could never forget SPIN for the mistake they made in giving "Achtung Baby" a poor review when it...

This information is from the Smashing Punpkins' messageboard: ATYCLB is this week at #74!!!

I went to a Bon Jovi-fansite's messageboard, where the people are, frankly, losing their nerves because of this *sudden* increase in U2's votes The Bon Jovi-fans do not have a "KevM", so they've been logging on with different names so that they could vote multiple times (what a waste of time...

Well, 50.54% of the sales are in, and ATYCLB sits at #46 with sales of 19,942 copies. We all know the "accuracy" of HitsDailyDouble, but this clearly shows that album-sales are up (probably due to the coming Christmas). I guess in the end ATYCLB could have sold anything in between 30,000-40,000...

What a great week it's been so far Concerning the Adult 40-charts, "Stuck" moves up two spots to #12 (with increased airplay of course)!

This is what The Sun (a tabloid in the U.K.) claims: "U2?s latest album All That You Can?t Leave Behind has shifted 9.5million copies worldwide in its first year ? more than their 1987 classic The Joshua Tree did over the same period. Sales of that have now hit 19million." We are probably...

Ummm...I wouldn't be so sure about that. I think it was 1999 when he actually played stadiums in Europe? He's for sure not as popular as, let's say the Stones, but for whatever reason I think he'd manage to sell out stadiums in Europe... Other than that...let's see: 1. U2 (definitely, atleast...

"there are tons of other bans that bette then them [aerosmith, gun n roses...]." This comment kind of amuses me...but then again, what can you expect from someone whose only criteria is how many times the artist/band swears in his/their songs But please, Aerosmith and Guns N Roses??? Just...

All U2-albums since "War" have indeed been number 1 in the U.K., EXCEPT "Zooropa" which "only" got to #2.

Kimi Raikkonen, another F1-driver is a U2-fan aswell
