I think Streets would be deemed an excellent example of the "U2 sound". The militristic driving drums....thundering bassline, layered guitar sound and of course the big singalong chorus.
also, for me...
City of Blinding Lights
Easy: Bad. It's no contest.
elvis presley and america.
what?
elvis presley and america.
what?
ooh, good onehmm... perhaps. However I think "Elvis Ate America" would be a better choice of a song that comes to mind when I think of U2.
i was going to but zooropop40 already did!I'm surprised you didn't mention the Twillight demo.
What I love about U2 is that I don't think they have a defining sound. While they may focus on a particular sound on any given album or in any era, over the life of their catalogue, they pretty much run the gamut.
If you were to pick 1 song that would sum up all of U2's sound (as in all of their decades, emotions, atmosphere rolled into one), which song would you pick? If some one has never heard of U2 and wanted to understand their style, which song would you play for them to display U2's sound??
Here is my pick
Electrical Storm (This song encompasses all of their decades and styles rolled into one)
and a close second song that defines U2 for me is:
Magnificent (once again the anthem of the early 80's, the melodic sounds from the late 80's, the techno/ electronica from the 90's, and the pure rock of the 00's)
Which song defines U2 as a band for you?
Magnificent (once again the anthem of the early 80's, the melodic sounds from the late 80's, the techno/ electronica from the 90's, and the pure rock of the 00's)
