    The Worst of U2 1980-2015

    Hi, What would a compilation album of U2 look like if it had the worst songs of their catalogue on it? I tried to make one compilation album. Every studio album is at least represented by one song. If this would be the first U2 album I listened to, I never would have been a U2 fan... 1. The...

    Ideas/wishes about the (possible) next I&E tour

    Hi, I guess/hope there will be a new leg of the I+E tour after the release of SOE (if this happens). How will this new I+E tour look like? Here's my guess: * They still start the concert with the Innocence-part as we know it, only with a few changes: (a) 1 other old song at the start, (b) 1...

    Ranking U2 albums after 1 year SOI

    I couldn't find a recent thread about ranking U2 (studio) albums. SOI has been released one year ago, in my opinion it's time for the 'ranking'-game again... I find it always quite difficult to make a ranking. This time I made my ranking like this: which album would you really miss in their...

    The Best of 2000-2015

    Hi, I don't think there will ever be a Best of 2000-2015 album, but still fun to create one. Here we go... I tried to be 'realistic' (including hits I personally don't prefer). And I included 2 songs from ATYCLB, although 2 other songs from this album were already included on the Best of...

    Ranking the songs after >10 days

    I know there was already a thread about it, but I couldn't find it. This is my ranking for this moment. It has changed a little bit after 10 days. Maybe it's still gonna change. Great songs (*****) 1. Moment of Surrender 2. Magnificent 3. Unknown Caller 4. Breathe 5. NLOTH Very good songs...

    Ranking NLOTH

    Of course it's much to early to rank the albums after only hearing the new album for 1,5 day. For example, I rated HTDAAB a lot higher when it came out. But still, it's interesting to compare your opinion at this moment to your opinion in about 6 months. So here's my try (top 5): 1. Achtung...

    [speculation] how many speculation threads will appear before the album's released

    Of course, this thread makes no sense, but I guess there will be at least 30 of those stupid speculation threads.

    Setlist for U2's farewell concert?

    What songs do you think (or wish) U2 are gonna play at their farewell concert (hopefully this won't happen the next 10 years)? (1) You can put your own favorites in but also have to be realistic: popular songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday or One WILL be on the setlist. (2) The setlist can only...

    One thing you really wanna know about the new album?

    Although we heard some vague things about the new album (by Bono, The Edge en Lanois), we actually still don't know anything about it. My question is: if you could ask them one question about the new album, what would it be?

    How many different U2 songs did you hear live?

    I was just thinking about how many different U2 songs I heared at concerts. I've been at 5 shows on three tours (Popmart, Elevation, Vertigo). After a few minutes of counting this is the result: 41 songs (no covers or snippets included) So what about you guys?

    Songs that are a hint for other U2 albums

    A lot of u2 albums have got 1 or a few songs that are a hint of the musical style of their next album (or song). I don't know if it's really possible, but I'm gonna give it a try. 1. Boy - Stories for Boys 2. October - Rejoice 3. War - Surrender 4. The Unforgettable Fire - Pride 5. The Joshua...

    No recording sessions until November!

    Rolling Stone posted a short interview with Danel Lanois. More of the same, but there is something new: “We’ve been invited as writers this time,” he says. “I did three writing sessions with Eno and U2 — one in Fez, Morocco; two in France. It’s going great. We’re regrouping in November.” So...

    U2 and complex songs?

    U2 haven't got a lot of songs with a complex song structure. What do you think are the most complex songs? The only song I can name is Zooropa...and even that one isn't very complex: just three different parts combined in one. Maybe the Fez-sessions will bring us some more complex songs?

    They're working on new songs!

    This was in a Rolling Stone interview with The Edge: "The guitarist [The Edge] also confirms that U2 are in the midst of recording a new album. “We’re working on new songs and getting lost in the music,” he says. “I don’t think we’re going to try and think too much about what we’re going to do...

    Which albums do you listen to the most?

    Can you rank the U2 albums you have listened to the most and the least? The ranking doesn't have to be a list of your favorite U2 albums. If you can, estimate the times you've listened to the album. I'm also including UABRS, the Best Ofs and U218 Singles. 1. Achtung Baby (500x) 2. The Joshua...

    How good is U2?

    Of course, everybody on this forum LOVES U2. But try to be as realistic and honest as possible when answering the next question: How good is U2? I'm not talking about the magic between the band members but purely their music. Is it up there with The Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd, Led...
