Larry Mullen's best work is on...

[Zoots]

Where do you see Larry's best contribution ever?

These come to my mind immediately...

1. The Refugee
2. Rejoice
3. The Electric Co.
4. Like A Song

 

[RademR]

good choices, i think "Acrobat" is up there. And because of that classic opening riff, I'd say "Sunday bloody sunday"

The JT tour version of WOWY

 

[Zoots]

Acrobat, yes absolutely.

Shit, I totally forgot Miami and Mofo!

Miami...

 

[bcrt2000]

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Desire
Please (Live)
New Year's Day
Stuck in a Moment
Miracle Drug (for the vocals )

honestly though, for HTDAAB its close between LAPOE, COBL, AMAAW and Crumbs for Larry's best work in respect to the newest album

 

[Palace_Hero]

A SORT OF HOMECOMING.

Jeez.. is there really any arguement?

 

[U2girl]

Bad in studio, especially the finish.

 

[D'oh!]

I Will Follow
Like A Song
Miracle Drug
A Sort of Homecoming

 

[Aardvark747]

Rejoice - no question...

 

[bedouin fire]

almost all have been mentioned:

acrobat
sbs
please
wowy and bad are larry trademark drumming
rejoice
like a song

i would add the fly

 

[jick]

Definitely NOT the studio version of Ultraviolet.

I'd probably say it's a toss-up between Pride and Sunday Bloody Sunday.

Cheers,

J

I'd say Larry's best work is anything on Passengers. You could really hear a joy in his drumming on that record. A happiness being chanelled through his drum sticks, you could say.

[GibsonGirl]

Rejoice! I love the part where he just goes crazy...

 

[AtomicBono]

I have to say overall I think Larry's drums had a lot more energy in the first three albums... don't get me wrong, he's still a great drummer (especially on HTDAAB - Love and Peace or Else, Miracle Drug, and Sometimes come to mind) but I feel like his best work was on the earlier songs...Sunday Bloody Sunday and I Will Follow, for example. Rejoice, Like a Song, The Refugee, Electric Co, Stories for Boys... there are excpetional later ones as well - ASOH, Bullet, The Fly, Acrobat, Numb, Mofo, Miami, New York, and a lot of HTDAAB. I'd say HTDAAB has his best drumming since Pop at least, but perhaps Achtung.
