Wait for it..........

bogus

 

[Zoots]

At least I know Axver's gonna be soooo mad!

 

[thrillme]

*Changes channel, the suspense is not worth it*

I like "the Refugee."

 

[Stefan]

You have got to be kidding! The live-version is one of the best things they have ever done

 

[Axver]

Anyone who thinks 11OTT is bad - let alone U2's worst song - is 1. clueless and 2. not worth listening to. It's like someone coming along and claiming the Beatles were a one-hit-wonder.

 

[typhoon]

HEY, JOHN, WAR IS OVER, WE DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

 

[Aardvark747]

It's like someone coming along and claiming the Beatles were a one-hit-wonder.

Tho actually if u look at this recent chart, which adds up the number of hit singles bands in the UK have had, these 'Beatles' are nowhere to be seen!

1. Status Quo - 61
2. Queen - 52
3. Rolling Stones - 51
4. UB40 - 51
5. U2 - 40
6. Depeche Mode - 40
7. Bee Gees - 38
8. Pet Shop Boys - 38
9. REM - 38
10. Manic Street Preachers - 37

 

[typhoon]

How exactly do you define "hit single" anyway?

The Beatles hold the record for the most number one singles in the U.S., to start, so they're not a flash in the pan just yet.

'Veteran rock group Status Quo have had more hit singles than any other band in UK chart history, according to research published by Guinness World Records.
The band has scored 61 chart successes, dating from Pictures of Matchstick Men in 1968 to You'll Come Around in 2004.

The group, who make a guest appearance in Coronation Street this week, release their 33rd album on Monday.

Queen came second with 52 hits, with the Rolling Stones and UB40 just behind them with 51 hits each.

Irish rockers U2 and electro-pop band Depeche Mode follow with 40 hits apiece.

Status Quo, who appeared on ITV1's Avenue of the Stars show on Sunday, were presented with an award to mark their achievement while filming their Coronation Street cameo in August.

"We are delighted and honoured to receive this impressive accolade," Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi said at the time.

"Forty years have flown by and we intend to keep rocking all over the world for many years to come."

The figures are contained in the latest edition of the Book of British Hit Singles and Albums.'

Of course no one outside the UK and other selected markets even know who the hell everyone's favourite pretend-brainy Welshmen are but screw that.

Manics = best band ever.

Oh yeah 11'O Clock Tick Tock is nowhere near the worst U2 song ever.

 

[Utoo]

First off, don't bring down Refugee! Everything on War is gold!

Second, was this thread only started to tick Axver off? I bet the next one says "One Tree Hill is U2's Worst Song (After 11OCTT & Refugee)." Shame!

Endless hours in bed, no peace in this mind
No one knows the hell where innocence dies
Fragments crawling like cobwebs on stone
Blows away the safety only a sleeping pill knows

And that will be all I will contribute to this thread. But this has been your Manic Street Preachers Public Service Announcement (with guitar!). Repeat after me, fuck queen and country. We hate dance. Rock and roll is dead, long live rock and roll.

For the record, I love both songs (Even Refugee ). I just HAD to see your reaction on this. (Thus the "Wait for it...")

I knew it!

I mean, shame!

 

[Axver]

Thought so. Which is why you didn't get the full-blown paragraph on why 11OTT rules.

 

[cobl04]

I heard that the woh woah part in the refugee is actually war war!

 

[Axver]

Could be, but it sounds very much like WOH-WOAH to me.
