Bono and Mullen have declared POP unfinished.

Big Girls Are Best
Don't Take Your Guns To Town
Stateless
City Of Blindning Lights
...are all from Pop sesions...
AND...
Last time I checked every song on Pop had a start and an end!
No song on Pop ends in the middle to silence...
I guess it is FINISHED!
bathiu said:...also most people find album versions of the songs (except Gone) better than "finished" versions from Best Of...
The band wanted to make an album with some trip-hop, "Prodigy"-like sounds on it at the time, right? And giving them more time to "finish" it, would mean that the album would have much more of those elements... and even more people would bash the album...
That's the "logic" of jick, that's the "logic" of all Pop-haters...

jick said:There is no such thing as a POP demo. The album was so hurried and unfinished that all the songs there represent all they could "squeeze" out of it (plus Holy Joe of course which was part of the album in the Japan release anyway). That is why the POP album is full of filler material.

City Of Blinding Lights was not an idea from the POP sessions.
bathiu said:City Of Blinding Lights IS from Pop sesions... just check the first HTDAAB interviews... it was oryginaly called "Some guy's name" song... also it's the only song the Flood produced on HTDAAB... and the Flood is responsible for most of Pop...
jick said:I'm just stating the facts about POP. Let's not argue about the sounds or bash POP any further. Nothing in my post said anything about the merits or demerits of POP. I was just trying to present the facts. It's just a fact that Bono and Mullen declared it unfinished. It's also a fact that no POP demos exist.
Cheers,

Bono and Mullen have declared POP unfinished. If you want the POP demos, buy the POP album and you'll see demo versions of Discotheque, Staring At The Sun, and Gone. The real versions of those songs as completed are in the Best Of 1990-2000. You can also find demos of Last Night On Earth, Please, and If God Will Send His Angles in the POP album. The finalized versions are in the respective singles of those songs.
