that's the odd thing, though. the basslines are actually quite prominent, yet rather boring... bono's still a great vocalist though, and 'THE EDGE' (what a daft name) has some nice guitar parts.

give me the manics anyday

There's no accounting for taste is there?

U2 are the biggest band on the planet, and (excluding Massive Attack), the best. End of Story.

The Manics? Old stuff was passable. Everything Must Go onwards is pure pish and the very definition of dull, derivative indie crap.

 

[mankatron2001]

i never said U2 were shit, they're far from it. just not my cup of tea. personally, i think pre-Everything Must Go, the Manics were the best band on the planet, but there we are. no doubt you'll slag me off for holding that opinion.

 

[bodhi]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

 

[mankatron2001]

out of interest - best Massive Attack and U2 album in your opinion?

 

[Testin da Cable]

oooh Bods! you've been down the pub havn't you lad




[I mean this nicely tho ]

 

[bodhi]

Nah mate, been revising for my exam next saturday all night

Best U2 album is Achtung Baby, closely followed by Pop.
Best MA album imo is Mezzanine, closely followed by Blue Lines.

aye. war, unforgettable fire and joshua tree imo. some of the live stuff on rattle and hum is pretty good too.
some of the older stuff is great too, like gloria [imo best heard live -roxors!]

wasn't rattle and hum a live video? or was it an album too? :]

 

[Testin da Cable]

I have it on album

and Bodhi: eep too bad mate! well, you'll make it up to yourself I guess oh and while on the subject of rocking: the Unforgettable Fire then Achtung Baby then Blue Lines then Mezzanine [or however it's spelled heh ]

 

[mankatron2001]

ok! i'll make a note to check both out when i get my new hd on monday... no more 6 gig insaneness!

 

[Testin da Cable]

hehe go for it dude

 

[Stazbumpa]

Bloody hell, I'm agreeing with Bodhi AGAIN ffs.

U2 0wn big time. True, Mr Clayton is quite possibly the most boring bass player on the planet, but the music works, and thats the main thing.

I saw them (you already know this ) in New York last year. Their rendition of Beautiful Day still ranks as possibly the most amazing thing I has ever seen/heard.

 

[old.ignus]

isn't it amazing how a conversation about N suck getting cut from starwars can mysteriously transform into a conversation about U2, perhaps we should all take up alchemy.
I my opinion (not that anybody values it) U2 suck, with or without you was a nice slow dancey song that made you appear all sensative to the girls, but other than that I thought they were nowt special. There are far more talented bands out there that put more work and effort into their music take feeder for example(shame about Jon Lee), Grant from feeder writes, plays and sings his own songs and once completed a UK tour with a broken jaw. That must of hurt.
And from what Staz was telling me and what I read in the paper Bono was using the WTC tradegy as a way of making himself look good, arrogant cunt. No they're only big coz the yanks wank over the Irish.

 

[mankatron2001]

actually, you're probably quite right about U2 only making it in the US because the Americans love the Irish. That said, they couldn't have been a bunch of talentless lamers to make it big in America, oh no, wait... /me remembers all the pop bands in america... ahh nevermind :]

 

[bodhi]

U2 rock. End of story.


Their only problem is they aren't as good as Massive Attack. But then who is eh?

 

[stu]

Define "biggest band in the world". Bono has the biggest ego of any frontman in the world, granted (anyone remember when he rang a Sarajevo hospital during one of their acts? Still havent decided whether it was more offensive or embarrasing), but imo U2 have gone off the boil big time.

 

[(Shovel)]

ah, but this wasn't about defining "biggest". It was about whether U2 were more deserving of "best band in the world" than N*Sync. Which they are.

 

[Summo]

Agreed. And I'm not even a fan of U2.

[old.ignus]

better than N suck yes, but there is no best band in the world coz there are so many types of music, voting a pop band as the best band in the world offends people who actually have taste.

This could theoretically be false, but in this case, you've misused the word "band". N'sync are not a "band" at all. 'Collective' or 'group'; maybe, but seeing as they are not in the least bit responisble for the musical content that comes out under their name, the link between them and any sort of band is tenuous to say the least.
