Some of their stuff is overplayed.  But, this is one is still a "turn it up" stand out.

Incredibly bored by U2. Wish I didn't hear so much of this band here.

Yeah sure.... Coldplay, a band that admittedly based their whole career on being a third rate version of some combination of early U2 and early Radiohead.

Stop people - U2 is one of the top 10 artists in the history of rock and roll.
 
I strongly disagree. Mediocre band with some positive (and some more negative) outliers.

Good thing I don't actually like this song, so I can mute it and NOT hear "electric Gustav" ...

You could follow this up with Ms. Sarajavo and you'd have probably the two best and least known U2 songs of the last 20 years.
 
Amen — Two fantastic 90s songs from this still great band.  Don't get the haters that think anything post Achtung is crapola.

I have an electric coaster.  It's keeping my coffee warm right now.  It's great but I'm not sure I would sing about it.

Oh, wait, nevermind...

I'm wondering where William Orbit is. After producing Madonna's Ray of Light (which was amazingly excellent), he was very popular for a little while, but then his signature sound somehow disappeared... PITY! He improves on the U2 song by about a factor four :-)
 
This year he produced Katie Melua's album "The House" from which 'The Flood' gets airplay on RP.

Love William Orbit's stuff (nice website too, with a very tasty fish on the home page :o), can't be doing with St Bonio. Mix yer man's voice off this and it would be a decent instrumental.

No comments on wether i like U2 or not.
I agree with the averege measurement. Somewhere between 7 and 8.
It's a good one. Enjoy it.

This song always makes me feel warm. It feels like a heat wave, which is nice when it's cold in New England.

For me, the big attraction ended with Rattle and Hum. I've only REALLY liked a couple of songs since then.

I don't necessarily LOVE it, but it's better than much of what U2 has put out over the last several years.

Eh, everyone has a band that RP plays that they absolutely hate... U2 is mine. While I will grudgingly admit that they had some decent songs in the early to mid 80's (most notably "New Year's Day"), I consider them to be the most OVERrated band/artist of all time.

Don't totally disagree... I'd rather not hear them on RP either.

I _like_ the idea of broad appeal. Not everybody wants to listen to the Gates of Delerium on Yes' Relayer album, or Anathesize on Porcupine's Fear of a Blank Planet.


It's "broad appeal" music that makes tunes like Gates of Delerium and Anaesthesize so powerful. There will always be a mainstream and things that classify as such will always evolve (even when RIAA fat cats try to prevent it) and there's nothing wrong with enjoying mainstream.

I think the arguments with U2 are that as they've grown in popularity/become more "mainstream", they haven't tried to evolve - at least not recently. Based on what I've read and heard, they're perfectly happy floating on the mainstream music bubble and spending their real passion on other things.

With all of that said, I actually dig this song. :)

Know what you mean. Not sure what happened. Too much U2, everywhere. Even here. Bono on his worldly crusades. Saturation.

I know I always sound like a bitter bastard, but is there anyone else doesn't really want to hear 5 U2 songs a day on RP?

I get enough of Bono's voice from... well, Bono.

If he isn't being rammed down my throat in another aggressive marketing bid (Apple, anyone?) or being played to death on any kind of commercial radio, he's busy on the news telling my country's elected leader that he should do as Bono commands.

I am officially in Bono overload.


Yes, I re-posted this because I tend to agree.
