Oh yeah, quality.

Is Alex supposed to have lyrics to it? Because the one I have is just a bunch of weird chants and boring music. What a disgrace to have my name associated with that.

Now aren't you all glad I pitched Ax and Khan the idea of excluding the quasi-singles from the competition? Having UTEOTW up there would make your lives that much more difficult!

Ok is First Time Unreleased?

I remember reading it was.

You included Ultra Violet?

 

[catlhere]

Can someone share Wild Irish Rose with me? Is it good?

 

[bono_212]

I can't believe until the world wasn't included...but I won't complain I understand everything behind it and I'm cool iwth it all.

Track #8 on Zooropa.

I'm going to re-use a post I just made, but this time mean it seriously:

I'm lost for words. You never cease to amaze me.

Seriously, weird chants?! Boring music?!

It's frigging haunting, that's what it is.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

it's crap

 

[bono_212]

I know but I mean will it be included on the poll? Cause if it is, IMHO, Zooropa will not be a very difficult poll


PLEASE JUST CAME ON ITUNES!!! YIPPEE!!

 

[Axver]

Ok is First Time Unreleased?

I remember reading it was.

How can it be unreleased when it's on Zooropa and the Best Of?

No unreleased Zooropa material has leaked, to my knowledge.

 

[namkcuR]

I can't believe until the world wasn't included...but I won't complain I understand everything behind it and I'm cool iwth it all.

Ironic you should ask this right after I patted myself on the back about the exclusion of quasi-singles....we excluded any song for which there was a music video. UTEOTW and LIB fall in that category. As did Bad. As will Gone.

 

[Axver]

it's crap

I'm never speaking to you again.

(I bet catlhere will hate it anyway, no matter how great I think it is [tenth best U2 song ever]. )

It ain't U2. I hope no one remembers this band for that music.

We agree Heartland and One Tree Hill are drooltastic, but Alex is just BARF! I really want to like all the rarities when I hear about them, but I just couldnt force myself to enjoy this "music"

 

[cleazer]

it's crap

I don't know if I'd say its crap, but it sure doesn't compare to any of the songs on Achtung Baby!

 

[bono_212]

Sorry...I forgot to hit quote...it was in response to what you said about hte video not being released


and I also misspoke, I meant that wasn't the First Time not a single off of Zooropa....

Sorry

 

[Axver]

I know but I mean will it be included on the poll? Cause if it is, IMHO, Zooropa will not be a very difficult poll

Oooh. Zooropa will be:

- Zooropa
- Babyface
- Daddy's
- Some Days
- First Time
- Dirty Day
- The Wanderer

I'm looking for the title track to win myself.

it's my favourite b-side

seriously

Yes! That's definitely made life easier - and the competition quicker.

 

[bono_212]

I've actually never heard Zooropa, Babyface, Some Days, Dirty Day, or the Wanderer....can you guess what my two picks are for the winner at the moment

 

[catlhere]

Well I guess I'll skip Wild Irish Springs then.

Out of the unreleased and Rares I've listened to. I like the rockier ones. Like Where did it All Go Wrong, Lady with Spinning, Salome, Native Son, Xanax.

How's it not U2? They wrote and played the song!

And how can you call it "music"? Seriously, are you that unadventurous? It's bleak music put to some haunting Latin. Wonderfully dark U2 greatness.

You are missing out (Zooropa) on like one of my favorite songs ever. I love that opening track so much!

 

[Axver]

Go buy Zooropa now!

Can we have a rule that you can't vote unless you've actually heard all the songs? Because otherwise, your vote doesn't really have much validity. This isn't a "vote for what you know" poll.

 

[bono_212]

I have a question I was jsut thinking of...I was watching ZooTV from Sydney this afternoon, and it's the second time I've seen it, and once again it was bothering me because Im' assuming it took place in 1993/1994 so I have a few questions

1) How long did ZooTV go?
2) How were they singing songs from Pop?
3) Was Zooropa released in 1993 or 1994
4) Did they sing all of these Zooropa parts of the show the whole tour or only after Zooropa was released?

Thanks in advance for answers.
