I was listening to Zooropa today

[martha]

Could Zooropa be Bono's finest record for singing?


I thought he did a great job on ATYCLB and JT, but really, he outdoes himself on Zooropa, don't you think?

Go listen to it right now. You'll agree.

 

[martha]

Ok. So I was listening to Zooropa yesterday. The rainy days in the desert have all run together.

 

[theedge111]

Yep its hard to disagree with you, one word...Lemon

 

[Canadiens1131]

Almost his best record for singing. Four things make Joshua Tree his best record for singing, and Zooropa second.

Those 4 things are:

Red Hill Mining Town

You're kidding, right?

That's Johnny Cash buddy.

 

[DPrinceNY]

maybe he means the last minute or so were Bono does the falsettos?

 

[saltines17]

Bono's voice during ZooTV is phenomenal. I love everything they're doing these days, but damn, to hear Lemon in 2005 would be incredible (and, sadly, impossible).

Zooropa=

If you wanna get into this album, listen to it every night as you fall asleep. It's the perfect bed-time album, and that's not an insult in any way.

His voice was definitely great on this. Not only could he go high and sing techinically well (I think) on Lemon, etc, but his voice was really an instrument on this album, see: Dirty Day.

I'm not gonna start explaining how much I love the album in general or we'll be here all night.

Yeah, he really kicks ass on "Numb" too.

I had iTunes cut the track off after the end of the song instead of the DJ alarm bit. Now I can sleep in peace!

[Chizip]

[martha]

I didn't notice until you pointed it out.

Now I laugh at you.

 

[Chizip]

 

[martha]

Aw.

Ok, I'll stop.

hahahahaah

 

[D'oh!]

Bono is brilliant on Zooropa but i would say the album he shines brightest on is All That You Can't Leave Behind

 

[Aardvark747]

"she is the dreamer, she's imagination"....

 

[boystupidboy]

Zooropa is a little know gem in the outside world,thats how i would like it to stay

No pun intended there I presume?

 

[miss becky]

I think vocally Achtung Baby was Bono's high point, but that said, Lemon is sheer briliance. I really do miss the days of the soaring falsetto.

I always turn up Lemon, right at the end of the track, when it's going quiet, to hear Bono sing "Lemmmoooon". The way he sings it then is just....

LOL

I completely forgot about that! Well, in my defense it does stop after a while (right?), so if you're a sound sleeper like me you shouldn't have a problem! I'm usually out by Lemon/Stay anyway...

 

[Aardvark747]

If it's busy in my shop and i'm playing Zooropa, I sometimes forget about the beeps at the end of the cd - and it scares the shit out of some ppl!
