"Zooropa" is one of their best tunes.

I think I will hide now.

To a normal radio listner who likes Shakira, Puff Daddy, Pussycat Dolls, Sean Paul, Busta Rhymes...... Zooropa is to deep for them. They need soulless music like them I wrote above. I'm so tired of people saying that U2 were best in the 80's with Joshua Tree..... Joshua Tree one of their most radiofreindly albums, that's why people who like the artists I wrote above like that album so much.
U2 are at their best when they are deep.
Zooropa, Uf and AB is their most intressting albums.

Great Melody , Great Chords , Great Lyrics , It's a big shame all those 7 seven tunes had a chance , and First time didn't on ZOOTV , at least not a full one .... Guess they couldn't find space for another acoustic song , since they already that pretty good set , Angel , Stay and Satellite ....
Talking of which , it's a funny thing , not that I don't enjoy live Zooropa songs , I do .... Stay , Lemon , Numb , but I kinda felt they put the show a bit down , talkin bout Sydney ..... I still don't appreciate the fact they kicked out on the only live recording of the tour , Bad , Desire and Ultra Violet in order of promoting Zooropa . I still wonder today how would've they sounded on that show , on that video

Joshua Tree is my favorite album, and I don't like any of the other musicians you listed. I don't see how appreciating JT makes you a radio-friendly listener.
You're saying that RTSS, RHMT, OTH, and MOTD are "soulless?" Because it was popular, it was radiofriendly? You probably didn't like Vertigo or Beautiful Day either, most likely because they were hits.

You have a lot to learn, my friend. Zooropa is pure brilliance.

And I'm tired of nineties fans saying Achtung Baby was the best and that ZooTV rules all, but I don't use that as ammunition against the damn album. I hate all of the artists you listed and I do not see how they are remotely similar to The Joshua Tree, an album of sweeping landscapes and rich atmosphere that was certainly unlike anything else released at the time. To call it radio-friendly is ridiculous. Sure, ISHFWILF and WOWY are all over classic radio now, but if you check out other releases from 1987, you'll see the album didn't sound like the radio-friendly music of the time. U2 certainly weren't making music to get on to the radio. You can't tell me a song with an intro as long as Streets' is radio-friendly; nor are such sombre songs as MOTD and RTSS or bleak ones as Exit, or songs like WOWY that don't burst into a big solo and reach a soaring conclusion but instead fade out.
If you can't appreciate The Joshua Tree and are deaf enough to write it off as radio-friendly, it's your loss.

phillyfan26 said:No one has yet attacked me for saying Lemon was a trainwreck? Wow. Really, wow. I figured people would be up in arms.
I agree 100% with Axver about Joshua Tree never being made for the radio. (Although I don't agree with him about Achtung or ZooTV )
