I fail to see the influence of this album on the world of music.

Probably an example of what not to release!

Well, I'm not even going to discuss that... I see that you're one of those HTDAAB bashers here, so I prefer not to comment it...

Haha... hey, I'm not an HTDAAB basher. I just don't see how a relatively new and U2-by-numbers album like this one could be so influential. But to each his own.

How long as X&Y been out for? About 2 months or something? So in that time it has become one of your top ten most influential albums? I suppose I could say the same about HTDAAB. Has that album really been out long enough to play that big a part in your life?
