I'm sure the musically inclined among you have heard of U2. Here's an article ranking their dozen studio releases, from the 80s through to today:

Bit harsh on Zooropa for mine, then again, I didn't write the article.

In fact, most non-hardcore fans of the band don't rate Zooropa or Pop - or the other efforts from the 1990s, much at all.

But they praise October - which was a typically poor sophomore album. Perhaps it's just the nostalgia.

Edit: Just shuffled through the archives, here are a couple of my articles on the band:

#1 A NEGATIVE review of their Live 360° album:

(Nothing on the band's performance itself, of course)

#2 And an expected POSITIVE take on The Joshua Tree:

Okay, which song from Joshua Tree tops the list for me? I'd think its the shortest one: In Gods Country, followed by With or Without You, and then Still Havent Found ...

My western musical sojourn more or less ended with Joshua Tree album of U2. Didn't bother to follow anything happened after that in the name of music.

Whenever time permits I go back to Ian Anderson's (Jethro Tull) flute or Ray Manzarek's (The Doors) systhesizer, Jim Morrison's vocal or Mark Knopfler/ Eric Clapton's guiter. Youtube makes it easier, in my student years music was not free flowing as it is today.

Hip-hop, Rap- I say to the singers: stop the crap!

Spiderguy252, thanks for bringing up Music on a slow Thursday afternoon for me Smile
