Something most of you will hate: the Achtung Baby EP!

[Axver]

This thread is still useless. There, I've said it three times now. Why do we argue about these things?

Because not everyone here's like you and I and recognises the superiority of the eighties.

Axver, you were born in what, 87! You're supposed to like the 90s more!

 

[liamcool]

The eighties isn't superior to the seventies though.

Seventies U2...

 

[Axver]

Yep, 1987 in New Zealand, the year of the Joshua Tree and One Tree Hill.

It all makes sense now, doesn't it?

No.

No it doesn't! People born towards the end of a decade usually don't even get to listen to music from that decade!!!


I was born in 78. My fav music more or less came out between 85 and 95!

CONCENTRATION CRAMP!

CARTOON WORLD!

Seventies U2...

That great hit they had... Stairway to Heaven! Or was it Comfortably Numb?

 

[liamcool]

CARTOON WORLD!

SHOW ME THE WAY!

Check and mate.

Then I must just be weird then.

My favourite U2 era is the eighties, my favourite TV show is from the seventies, I read books from well before then (I'm currently reading two from around 1845-1855 and one from 1905-ish) ...

BEACHBOYS MEDLEY!

Pwn and z0rd.

 

[MrBrau1]

No, it was their cover of "Nights In White Satin" by The Moody Blues.

Seriously, they used to cover The Moody Blues.

I would not fuck with the AB track order.

I would change the HTDAAB order though, i have an alternate tracklisting that I listen to that I find to be much more powerful.

But this isn't the thread for that.

Achtung Baby as an EP?? the album is perfect as it is. would you like us to release Joshua Tree as an EP, Axver? we'll take off Red Hill Mining Town, Mothers of the Disappeared, With or Without You, and One Tree Hill, I think you'll agree that they're pretty pointless tracks?

 

[namkcuR]

Yeah. You seem to think anyone who doesn't rate One as one of the best songs ever has some inferior taste and can't be taken seriously (as you said only a couple of posts ago).

The comment about not being able to take you seriously was meant to be taken with a grain of salt. I was just having some fun.

And yes, I love AB endlessly. Yes, I think it is genius from one end to the other. Yes I think One is one of the greatest songs ever written. I know you disagree and that's fine.
