I respect what the Beatles did and they are the "biggest band ever" according to almost everyone, but I dont like them!
With or Without you hasn't been played well live since 1992 (if you wanted to tell me Lovetown instead, I wont argue).
U2 is the greatest live act EVER
Heath Ledger was a much better Joker than Jack Nicholson
"Bubble gum Pop" sucks (e.g. Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga (yeah she fits in here), Miley Cirus, Backstreet boys, Spice Girls, ect...

With the exception of these three i totally agree with you (yes i too like the power of love )

 

[Addicted To Bad]

Chad Kroeger has an incredible voice

 

[kingofsorrow]

I agree with all you said except the nickleback thing

 

[angel_28]

I agree with everything ..except I don't like Nickleback...
And I like The Spice Girls I'm sorry

 

[HCL]

Let's do a yes/no, cause I'm bored...

Do you feel loved is the best song on PoP

No.

Magnificent is the best U2 song since One

No.

Ill go Crazy if I dont go Crazy Tonight is a very good song

Yes, to say the least.

Where the Streets Have No Name is the best live song EVER

No, but it's not so far from that position.

Unlike a lot of U2 fans, I dont hate Coldplay and I want them to be successful (they wont ever come close to U2 but better them than some shit act out there)

Yes... and to you for this.

The Rolling Stones suck, Im sorry

No.

I respect what the Beatles did and they are the "biggest band ever" according to almost everyone, but I dont like them!

No, cause there's a few stuff they did which I like. A few, not a lot.

With or Without you hasn't been played well live since 1992 (if you wanted to tell me Lovetown instead, I wont argue).

No.

U2 is the greatest live act EVER

YES!! YES!! YES!! And by a freakin' thousand light years.

Heath Ledger was a much better Joker than Jack Nicholson

YES!

"Bubble gum Pop" sucks (e.g. Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga (yeah she fits in here), Miley Cirus, Backstreet boys, Spice Girls, ect...

Agree except about Lady Gaga, I think she's a great artist.

I like Nickleback...I just do and I cant explain it, so leave it alone.

Yeah, let's just all forget you said this.

I like the song Power of Love by Huey Lewis and news

No idea which song is this.

No line on the Horizon is better than Atomic Bomb

Yes.

Anyone who says "U2 should have stopped making music after the Joshua Tree" should go fuck themselves

YES!! (With emphasis and an additional 'fuck you' to whoever disagree.)

 

[Bonochick]

Huey Lewis

That smiley should never be used when discussing Huey Lewis.

Huey

We really should focus more on the U2-related thoughts pertaining to this post though, since this is EYKIW.

I share the OP's "Magnificent" love...

 

[mikal]

i came here to do 2 things:

1. chew bubblegum
2. kick some ass

and i'm all out of bubblegum!

 

[BVS]

 

[Rosebud]

I agree with points: 3, 4, 9, 14, and 15.

And I would like to second the Spice Girls love.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Do you feel loved is the best song on PoP

Not quite, I feel that title belongs to Please.

Magnificent is the best U2 song since One

No, I think there are many songs better than One.

Ill go Crazy if I dont go Crazy Tonight is a very good song

True, it is a nice tune.

Where the Streets Have No Name is the best live song EVER

It's one of the best.

Unlike a lot of U2 fans, I dont hate Coldplay and I want them to be successful (they wont ever come close to U2 but better them than some shit act out there)

Yes, I too ... like Coldplay. More of a love/hate relationship though.

The Rolling Stones suck, Im sorry

Eh, never really liked them at all.

I respect what the Beatles did and they are the "biggest band ever" according to almost everyone, but I dont like them!

Nah, they were good. But not as good in my opinion as some others would think.

With or Without you hasn't been played well live since 1992 (if you wanted to tell me Lovetown instead, I wont argue).

Meh.

U2 is the greatest live act EVER

No doubt about it.

Heath Ledger was a much better Joker than Jack Nicholson

There is no comparison.

"Bubble gum Pop" sucks (e.g. Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga (yeah she fits in here), Miley Cirus, Backstreet boys, Spice Girls, ect...

I agree completely. Ugh ...

I like Nickleback...I just do and I cant explain it, so leave it alone.

Oh dear.

I like the song Power of Love by Huey Lewis and news

Never heard of it.

No line on the Horizon is better than Atomic Bomb

Yep.

Anyone who says "U2 should have stopped making music after the Joshua Tree" should go fuck themselves

It is not technically possible but I agree.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Anyone who hasn't heard The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News should immediately be banned from this site.

 

[RockNRollDawgie]

"The Rolling Stones suck, I'm sorry"

IMO, they really suck now. They've become a joke now, Rehashing their old sound
into new songs.

Huey Lewis....Supposedly "and The News" was Elvis Costello's backup band on his "My Aim Is True" album.

"I respect what the Beatles did and they are the "biggest band ever" according to almost everyone, but I dont like them!"

I am still a huge Beatles fan. They were the first band to get me interesting in rock music. I still listen to them.

"U2 is the greatest live act EVER "

Yep. I agree. Even on off nights, U2 pull off great shows!

"Do you feel loved is the best song on PoP "

One of the best. I love the entire album, even though U2 aren't happy with it.

 

[AtomicBono]

Do you feel loved is the best song on PoP

That'd be Gone, but DYFL is certainly up there, probably my second fave on the album. Very underrated and a shame they didn't play it much live.

Magnificent is the best U2 song since One

Nah, U2 has had many great songs since One. One is very underrated here, but perhaps overrated by the public?

Ill go Crazy if I dont go Crazy Tonight is a very good song

Yep, not the best on the album but still great

Where the Streets Have No Name is the best live song EVER

I'd say so

Unlike a lot of U2 fans, I dont hate Coldplay and I want them to be successful (they wont ever come close to U2 but better them than some shit act out there)

I don't hate Coldplay either. They can be kind of annoying sometimes but they have some brilliant music. I don't love Viva La Vida though...sounds like they were trying too hard.

The Rolling Stones suck, Im sorry

Never been a fan, wouldn't say they suck though, they're just not my kind of music

I respect what the Beatles did and they are the "biggest band ever" according to almost everyone, but I dont like them!

i like the beatles

With or Without you hasn't been played well live since 1992 (if you wanted to tell me Lovetown instead, I wont argue).

I think it has been played well, but not AS well.

U2 is the greatest live act EVER

Heath Ledger was a much better Joker than Jack Nicholson

Of course.

"Bubble gum Pop" sucks (e.g. Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga (yeah she fits in here), Miley Cirus, Backstreet boys, Spice Girls, ect...

I used to love BSB and NSYNC (when I was a kid) and I suppose I still have a soft spot in my heart for those songs even though I never listen to them/do not own them anymore. But yeah, it's all predictable drivel, really, nowadays at least. All sounds the same. How boring.

I like Nickleback...I just do and I cant explain it, so leave it alone.

That's brave of you to confess. I, personally, do not like Nickleback.

I like the song Power of Love by Huey Lewis and news

Don't know it.

No line on the Horizon is better than Atomic Bomb

Definitely. and I don't hate the Bomb - I think it's a solid album. But NLOTH blows it away.

Anyone who says "U2 should have stopped making music after the Joshua Tree" should go fuck themselves

People say that?


I should make a thread like this. If I made a thread about my thoughts would you all reply to it?? WOULD YOU?!

 

[The Disciple]

i came here to do 2 things:

1. chew bubblegum
2. kick some ass

and i'm all out of bubblegum!

Ahhh... good ol' Roddy Piper.

 

[Harry Vest]

"The Rolling Stones suck."

Anyone who shouts that statement from his/her computer CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be taken seriously. It is such a blank statement that it simply cannot be taken seriously. You can "hate" the Stones now and you can "hate" certain songs and "eras" but with the bands hundreds of songs there are some truly amazing tunes. But again, this coming from someone who likes Nickleback???????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[HCL]

Hey, take it easy. Everyone's has the right to have an opinion.

 

[Ellay]

At the end of the day, there's a place for bubble gum pop

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hey, take it easy. Everyone's has the right to have an opinion.

There's a difference between the right to have an opinion and the right to like Nickelback.

 

[Saracene]

Do you feel loved is the best song on PoP

I think Gone is the best song, DYFL is good but not great IMO.

Magnificent is the best U2 song since One

Nah, One isn't even the best song on AB.

Ill go Crazy if I dont go Crazy Tonight is a very good song

I'm not a huge fan of the middle three songs on NLOTH but Crazy Tonight is probably the best of them.

Where the Streets Have No Name is the best live song EVER

I always felt that once the song's intro and those amazing opening chords are over, the rest is a bit of a letdown. And though I've listened to countless live versions, it's IMO one of those U2 songs that always sound strangely hollow live.

Unlike a lot of U2 fans, I dont hate Coldplay and I want them to be successful (they wont ever come close to U2 but better them than some shit act out there)

Yeah, agreed.

The Rolling Stones suck, Im sorry

Can't agree with you there.

I respect what the Beatles did and they are the "biggest band ever" according to almost everyone, but I dont like them!

See above.

With or Without you hasn't been played well live since 1992 (if you wanted to tell me Lovetown instead, I wont argue).

I don't really like any of the live versions I've heard, pre- or post- 1992.

U2 is the greatest live act EVER

Well, one of the greatest at the least.

Heath Ledger was a much better Joker than Jack Nicholson

Never watched the first Batman.

"Bubble gum Pop" sucks (e.g. Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga (yeah she fits in here), Miley Cirus, Backstreet boys, Spice Girls, ect...

Most of it sucks, but I quite like Lady Gaga and Spice Girls.

I like Nickleback...I just do and I cant explain it, so leave it alone.

They're in my bad books for that "pants around your feet" song alone

I like the song Power of Love by Huey Lewis and news

It's an ok song I guess.

No line on the Horizon is better than Atomic Bomb:

Yep.

Anyone who says "U2 should have stopped making music after the Joshua Tree" should go fuck themselves

Wouldn't it be a bit uncomfortable?

 

[CosmoKramer]

There's a difference between the right to have an opinion and the right to like Nickelback.

I told you in my 1st post, I dont know why but I just do. I dont like it either but when I hear one of their songs, they get stuck in my head.

As for the Stones, they end up on every "top 5 bands of all time" list and I just dont see it. I know what you are going to say "then who are the top 5 bands of all time".....well, maybe Ill post that when I want to share more thoughts but Ill give you a hint: U2 is #1 and Nickleback is not on it (I like them, but I acknowledge what they are...or more importantly are not).

One more thought I forgot to post to open the thread: Coolest Band member is Adam, no questions asked!

 

[HCL]

There's a difference between the right to have an opinion and the right to like Nickelback.

Yeah, but TUF Bono shows respect for all creatures no matter what. Even Nickelback.

 

[corianderstem]

At the end of the day, there's a place for bubble gum pop

And that place is in my heart*.






*only for very worthy bubblegum pop, usually of the upbeat variety. There is very little space in my heart for ballads.

 

[LemonMelon]

"Bubble gum Pop" sucks (e.g. Jonas Brothers, Lady Gaga (yeah she fits in here), Miley Cirus, Backstreet boys, Spice Girls, ect...

I actually find bubblegum pop one of the least offensive genres whored out on radio nowadays. It's uncool, sure, but it's relatively easy on the ears, and seldom as degrading as most of the hip-hop on the airwaves. Would I sit around all day and listen to it? Probably not. But it's a fun distraction for 3.5 minutes.
