help me!

1. HELLO HELLO!

:P

[RPM]

10. hola!

[joeybee12]

2. I know,..I like them, but it wasn't their best work by far...

...then again, the Grammys don't have much to choose from--lots of talentless hacks in the music business.

12. Achtung baby wasn't even nominated

HTDAB is good, but it's hardly in their top 5.

But conside3ring the compettion, they probably did deserve to win.

3. I've pretty much ignored everything since Zooropa.

:P

[XNASA]

4. I'm not a huge U2 fan, but I just love Zooropa.

I think it's because it sounds more like Eno than U2 sometimes.

[WCGreen]

15. I stopped Before that.. Naynay nay nay....

I'm waaaaaayyyyy cooler than you!!!!!

Seriously... I still like 'em... Not my favorite but hey, it;s still pretty good music....

[LaraMN]

20. You have been far too scarce! What gives?

It's good to see you.
Yeah- and I will always love the Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum.

[WCGreen]

21. Really really tied up with a statewide political campaign....

Also, tax time.....

[LaraMN]

22. Oh good! As long as you're not under the weather!

You are so missed!:hug:

5. How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb is one of my all-time favorite albums.

And their first one, WAR is still one of my all time favorite albums.

They are timeless. They grow, change and evolve along with the rest of the planet. They're just human. They don't try to stay the same. Like us, they age, learn and move on to new things.

I can't ask for more than that.

[Common Sense Party]

11. Ummm..."War" was actually their THIRD album.

Boy. 1980.

October. 1981.

War. 1983.

[radwriter0555]

16. DAMN I knew it was a 3 letter word, Thanks for setting me straight!

Hey, just cause I'm old doesn't mean I'm er... senile.

Or maybe it does.

But it's not supposed to affect LONG term memory loss.

*gets out the walker*

[Common Sense Party]

17. Other than that, I agreed with everything you said in the post.

I did NOT like the Pop/Zooropa period AT ALL, but I'm glad that they are always trying new things and changing.

Unforgettable Fire is my favorite.

6. I despise U2

and it really pissed me off they won all those awards. I think Bono is a self-aggrandizing little twit, and all that "charity" he does is simply to puff himself up. I CANNOT STAND THE MAN.

<<RANT OFF>>

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. But tell us how you really feel.

:P

[Blue_In_AK]

9. Oh, yeah...

I forgot sanctimonious.

[democracyindanger]

8. Watch out

or you'll get the U2 Protection Society swarming all over you.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

13. yeah, but they won anyway

so what are you gonna do

[Missy Vixen]

14. I thought "All That You Can't Leave Behind" was better

I love "Walk On". I think it's one of their better songs, joining "Pride", "One," "Where The Streets Have No Name," etcetera.

18. U2's last great song was Beautiful Day.

But the rest of that album sucked.

Their last great album was Achtung Baby.

"Vertigo" is the kind of jam they should be farting in their sleep after 28 long years together.

I don't care for the Rolling Stones, but their album was WAY more deserving of the Best Rock Album award.

[Hissyspit]

19. It was the Grammys, people! They're silly.

They always have been. In the 60s, the Beatles releasing some of the most amazing recordings ever and Frank Sinatra gets the awards. Voting on what music is the best? Think of the amount and the variety of music produced in any given year. To quantify something so unquantifiable says more about those who would attempt that than about the music itself.
