Yes. Great debut but it didn't change the world...and its most important songs were the two singles that were released way before the LP.
Then again if commercial considerations are foremost, you'd have to say the Spice Girls debut was a landmark. Is that the first time Spice Girls have been mentioned in Shuttlecock? ?the debut of the beatles didn't change the world? are you on crack?
But as an album I don't think it is 'great'. Huge? Yes. Important? Landmark? Revolutionary? Yes.commercial considerations? artistic statement?
please please me was the tipping point of the british invasion. it quite literally changed the world.
gtfoyes. Great debut but it didn't change the world...and its most important songs were the two singles that were released way before the lp.
Yeah, I agree re: Please Please Me. The Beatles already broke big with their singles and could have kept doing so without an LP. I don't think the album itself is that notable.
But as an album I don't think it is 'great'. Huge? Yes. Important? Landmark? Revolutionary? Yes.
But still not great.
My first U2 show, I had bad seats where I couldn't see much but I was just happy to be there of course. Back then it was still my favourite U2 song and I knew there was a chance it could be played but it wasn't a regular back then. I was ecstatic when I heard that intro.It should never be left off a set list.
Must have been something pretty special to experience U2 when they were actually up top. Jealous of some of our ~older~ members here.
Has anyone received the physical copies of the Joshua Tree singles that came as a gift in last year's subscription? It's ridiculous that I had to renew my membership and have not yet even received this year's gift.
