[gareth brown]

Are these your picks for the most "obscure" tracks on each album? You've done a good job then.

you're a fucking idiot. why do you ALWAYS do this?! Each time someone picks a track or mentions something YOU don't know or don't like, you get up in arms for NO reason!

"oh, stop trying to out-do people with obscure knowledge, moan moan, boo-hoo..." it pisses me off to high heaven and I've just had about enough of your bitterness just because people enjoy something you don't know or just haven't heard yet. Maybe some of us are just tired of the overplayed 'classics' and prefer to listen to what's less-widely lauded up for whatever reason!

MY LIST- and StarvinMarvin can go to hell if he doesn't like it.

BOY --- An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart (can't choose sorry)
OCTOBER ---Rejoice
WAR --- Surrender / Drowning Man

JOSHUA TREE --- Red Hill Mining Town / One Tree Hill
RATTLE AND HUM --- Heartland
ACHTUNG BABY --- Acrobat

POP --- Wake Up Dead Man
ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND --- When I Look at the World / Beautiful Day
HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB --- Yahweh/Original of the Species

[KhanadaRhodes]

you're a fucking idiot. why do you ALWAYS do this?! Each time someone picks a track or mentions something YOU don't know or don't like, you get up in arms for NO reason!

personal attacks/name calling isn't allowed here. it sounds to me like he's just pointing out that the songs are rather obscure (meaning there's no hits or obvious fan favourites listed). but if you honestly feel the way you feel, you'd probably be better off reporting any posts where you feel he's being bitter or rude and letting the mods deal with it. telling him to go to hell isn't proper either.

thanks
