When I'm falling down, is when your falling down, when you fall down.... I fall down....I-I fall down. Ah, love that bit. Especially the inflection of his voice. Simplicity at its best, yet says so much.
I would have to say their first FOUR albums are my favourite. This is my favorite, along with Boy, and the Unforgettable Fire. War is awesome, too. But then they became more commercial and political, and their nadir was Rattle-n-Hum. But Achtung and Zooropa were awesome and their newer releases are good, too.
Feel bad for the Edge. He spent the rest of career wearing a ski caps and otherwise concealing his head to redeem himself from the terrible aldum cover photo of his poofy but otherwise balding quiff of hair. When they posed for the photo, he probably never imagined they'd be so successful and this album would travel around the world.
I love some of the melodies on the October album. I think U2 wrote some of their best tunes on it. However, had they stayed the same they wouldn't have lasted as long as they have, so we shouldn't complain really...I mean can you imagine no "Achtung Baby" and "All That You Can't Leave Behind"?
@radiokevin I don't think they're so ashamed of it, but I think they regard it as one of their least best efforts because it was produced under duress. They were touring extensively at the time, and Bono's briefcase went missing with all the notes for this album and they had to start from scratch...they did well considering. Incidentally Bono's briefcase was stolen and was returned to him in 2000.
Del ´80 hacia el´85.....su época de oro....como entonces, nunca más han vuelto a crear éstas obras maestras. ¡Cómo quisiera que volvieran , en la actualidad , a componer canciones con esos sonidos, melodías y cantos ,tan particulares y cautivadores, de sus tres primeros álbunes!!!
This IS an amazing Album. And they couldn't stay the same because they had to evolve...all bands do. And the last two albums have been less than amazing...but i have faith they will produce more at the level once again.
@pagglejamia the music scene changes, people get older and your fans grow up, plus just like the arguments for more albums like Joshua Tree, they didn't want to become a cliche of themselves i.e. only can do one style of music, you need to evolve to stay relevant or you'll end up playing nostalgia gigs like the 80s festival that ABC, Bananarama etc do

@Theginger22790 I see a trend: people (like me) who like early U2 more than later era U2 seem to like Zooropa as well. Interesting :)

if they carry on like this, they become the Rolling Stones or WHO or any of the bands that never change their style and suck for ever.
