Woohooooo!

Just got a file with 52 songs from their early 1990 period! That certainly helps!

Gonna do some updating on the files tomorrow.

My favourite U2 non-album tracks are Night And Day, Lady With The Spinning Head and Satelite Of Love. biggrin

Remixes of U2 tracks bore me, but Elevation (Tomb Raider Mix) is okay, but then that's not really a remix - more an alternative take. biggrin

I think I will hunt for the early b-sides, personally I do not care for so much live versions or remixes that much....

As I have been an admirer of their music since almost the beginning cuzza my eldest sister, the U2 I love most is the early U2.

They were able to hold my attention up to Achtung Baby, which I love dearly, as it is them reaching out for something new, but lost me with Zooropa, which was overstretching, in my eyes.

I kind of liked the idea of their last album, but am missing the part that kept me glued to my room back in the day; the passion. I am sure U2, like Prince, has now moved into old men-mode, like Kate Bush has moved into I'm A Momma-mode. Still GREAT, but missing that one thing that made them special in the early days.


I couldn't stand U2 in the eighties, but with their contribution to the Red, Hot And Blue collection and Achtung Baby and Zooropa they caught my attention and kept it throughout the nineties. But their latest album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb doesn't really thrill me . It sounds exactly like their previous album. bored
