Anybody that has the audacity to state what they say the real U2 should be or are is an elitist. Every U2 album is U2 in every way some of you may not think so but from Boy to Bomb its all U2...you may not like it all but thats the way it is.

It's an attempt to see if a bona fide classic song like Electric Co means more to people than an album that doesn't begin to represent the real U2.

This is what Yahweh was talking about.
WalkOnTheEdge said:If you could have one or the other what would it be? Is one song - Electric Co. - better than an entire album - Zooropa? I say yes. A resounding 'yes'.
The live Electric Co. showcases U2 at it's finest. It shows them for what they do best - ROCK. Edge rips it up with perhaps his best guitar work ever. From the Cry intro, to the main verse, to the solo, to the rousing ending this is Edge at his best. The song is high energy from start to finish. If this song can't get you fired up then nothing will.
Meanwhile, Zooropa is made up of bizarre experimental shit that completely misses the point on what makes this band so great. Zooropa is not U2. I don't know what they were trying to prove with this one.
So if you could only choose one, Electric Co or the entire Zooropa album, which would you rather have in the U2 catalog?
A big vote for Electric Co here.

Streets. Seriously.
CTU2fan said:I wonder how many of the people ridiculing the idea of choosing a single song over an entire album would feel the same if it were October vs. Lemon/Discotheque/Mofo/Gone/Stay?
GibsonGirl said:You do realise it gets tiring when people harp on and on about the same thing time and time again, don't you? We get it. You think Zooropa is a pile of shit. You don't need to tell us five thousand times over. It's bloody annoying. [/B]
Michael Griffiths said:I would say if you want to compare 'Electric Co' to the best song on Zooropa, it would lose. 'Stay' is not only a classic U2 song, but it's also one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
LOL, great album it is, Under a Blood Red Sky. I have the Red Rocks video as well.WalkOnTheEdge said:
It's all just a matter of opinion and there is no right or wrong answer, but on this one you couldn't be more wrong.
Stay over Electric Co.? A sweet little ballad over an in-your-face electrifying rock song? C'mon, Electric Co. eats it for lunch. And I an a HUGE fan of Stay (Boston DVD version), but it's no Electric Co. I think you need to go back and listen to Under A Blood Red Sky.
Michael Griffiths said:
By the way, have you listened to the ZooEuropa version of 'Stay' (from Dublin)? One of U2's finest live moments ever.
IrishDawg said:I'm with you on Electric Co. being better.
People bash on HTDAAB and ATYCLB over and over, no one stops them.
Michael Griffiths said:Man, if you only heard the Dublin 93 version (full band), you probably wouldn't ever listen to the Boston version again.
