Your CHEESIEST U2 song

[zuropa_fit]

Some of these posts make me sad. I mean I get it, but it makes me sad.


Cheese = One

 

[Rob33]

I could understand someone viewing One as a cheesy song at times...but the CHEESIEST U2 song out of every other one of their songs? Sorry, not even close....

I definitely have a hard time listening to LAPOE though, the title, first of all, makes it bad enough, but then...some of the lyrics...it just bothers me when I listen to it...Elevation might be second...

AMAAW is beautiful and not cheesy at all...

Whoever said WGRYWH is cheesy is simply out of control insane

 

[Zoots]

Pretty much 90% of the last 2 albums and a few songs from their past!

 

[forbonou2]

'Numb' ...now foru2....runs for cover, some think it's great!

 

[last unicorn]

Compared to most other music on radio today, U2's songs aren't cheesy at all. Many of them emotional, yes, but not cheesy.

 

[dsmith2904]

Sweetest Thing

 

[digitize]

Ele-f***ing-vation.

Worst. U2. song. ever.

 

[tomtom]

I agree, Elevation isn't cheesy, just silly/stupid. Cheesy, however, are:

Miracle Drug
Walk On (though there are many things to like about it)
ARE YOU GONNA FUCKING WAIT FOREVER

 

[2861U2]

No, WGRYWH is most certainly cheesy.

For starters, the title itself is kind of lame (and grammatically incorrect- shouldn't there be a question mark at the end?)

Then we have "Baby, can we still be friends?"

And, of course, the "hey hey sha la la"s are pure cheese.

 

[zoopop]

Peace On Earth.

This is U2's most forced songs which brings out the cheese

Elevation is pretty cheesy too. I like WITS but it's so sweet and sugary that it makes your teeth hurt.

Ah yeah, Wild Honey is pretty cheesy - I should have remembered that.

Actually everything U2 has ever done is cheesy if you think about it. The whole concept and theme of the band is cheesy!

 

[skott100]

The rerecorded Sweetest Thing with that lame ass "ain't-love-the-swee-test-thing" bridge. But I love the original version, blown out voice and all.

Wild Honey is pure cheese, but it knows it's cheese so it gets a pass. Barely.

 

[Mr. V]

i'm pretty sure the re-recorded Sweetest Thing knows it's cheese, but it's a brilliant, soft, tangy cheese. top 20 cheeses IMO

 

[pat132]

Sweetest Thing (1998 version), One and Window in the Skies

 

[cobl04]

Atty club has a lot of cheese.

Good cheese though. Wendsleydale.

 

[the tourist]

One. One. One. Because of those horrible "guitars"

 

[sue4u2]

This kind of post always makes me laugh! Translation: "I spend lots of time listening to and chatting about U2, and I totally hate them, man!"

So I guess there are about 2 songs you don't find cheesy?

 

[AndrewCowley]

With A Shout is pretty cheesy. Silly lyrics. A strange thing for 20 year old Irish men to sing about.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Miracle Drug.

Oh God yeah, how could I have forgotten about that sack of cheesey crap!

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Wild Honey....

 

[last unicorn]

I LOVE cheese in all its forms.

 

[coolian2]

THE NEW SWEETEST THING.

Vomit.

...this slaaaaaaiiide guitar...:

Actually, the whole f...... cliché song:

 

[onyourkneesboy]

I think "A Man and A Woman" is one of the strongest songs from "Bomb" and there's no cheese included. In fact it's the least U2-sounding song on there and screams of originality. That's not an April Fool's joke, either. For those who are welcoming a "new sound" but think "A Man and a Woman" is cheesy, perhaps you should be a little more nervous about the "Innovation" on the new album. I believe the song is severly overlooked and underrated, just like "One Step Closer" and "New York".

Anyway, random ranting aside; as far as cheese goes, I have to agree with Window in the Skies; especially when Bono goes all over-dramatic near the end: "(in whisper voice)Oh can't you see...*deep breathing sound* what love...*uneccesary pause*...has done..."

I could not agree with you more!!! You are exactly right !!

A Man And A Woman is almost perfection, a real gem!
Fantastic passionate singing from Bono (NOT Bono doing Bono). Wonderful original musical structures.. hard to decipher. Beautiful blending of instruments creating a melancholic mood...
And indeed, probably the only NEW-sounding track on the album. Whether you like the song or not! (If I remember right even Adam was more than everage enthousiastic about this track and it's new sound..)
The other tracks have a lot of elements in them that we heard many times before on other albums...
Maybe the title and some parts of the lyrics are a little misleading or too vulnerable for some people/fans here and puts them off-track... Pity for them: it's a beautiful song..
But I understand if you only prefer the big- (obvious) U2-stadium anthems, you probably won't "get" this song.. sorry for you

So I guess there are about 2 songs you don't find cheesy?

For one, there are only 17 tracks there which is a fraction of U2's output. Secondly, I like virtually all of those songs.

Cheese isn't necessarily bad people.

I'm a MOLE diggin' in a HOLE!b
