now it wasn't that hard to count to 14, was it?
i'm shocked that people still are arguing over this.. i wish they didn't take down the old u2 site because it had the proper list of albums and stuff
edit: http://www.u2wanderer.org/disco/album.html
the albums that i didn't count were the EP's.. the 14 that I counted are all LP's... (great, now I'm sounding like Edge)

1,2,3,14 is just a fun way of counting.
get it...instead of 1,2,3,4 they say 14
it's fun
there is no double meaning
sweet lord!

p.s. don't tell The Edge that I didn't know!
U2girl said:LP = album
EP = single

Not entirely correct. It is true that LP is synonymous for an album (as the letters stand for Long Play), but an EP is not a single. EP stands for Extended Play and is longer than a single (has more songs). Of course, with the CD, all can be filled to 80 minutes (unless you're talking about the 3" CD singles). In the early days it did stand for a record with 4 - 6 songs on them with a running time around 20 minutes (that was in the day of the 3 - 4 minute songs, max). Nowadays it's probably more for records around 30 minutes.
C ya!

So EP could be something like BD single with Always and Summer rain or Vertigo with Are you gonna wait forever, or it could be something like Wide awake in America, with more songs?

Yeah before the CD was invented and labels started issuing CD singles with more than one B-side, EP's were just "smaller" albums. They were still 33rpm sized albums with, in the case of WAIA, only had 4 songs on it. So techincally, you could say that the BD single or even the Target CD were both EP's, but really they don't exist much anymore because they don't have to.
WAIA is 2 live tracks with 2 previously unreleased tracks which woud all by itself define the Target CD, the Please single and countless other U2 released as EP's. I am not sure the labels even use the term anymore, but they might.
The argument that 1,2,3,14 has any signifigance to the number of albums U2 have made is silly.
