    Pretty swell actually. I have some story to to tell ya. So I'm at work, talking about whatever. Some dude comes in with a Joshua Tree shirt, and we strike up a convo about U2. Dude asks for my email, so I give it to him. I get an email, and apparently the dude wants me to download all of his U2 stuff he's uploaded on some file share site. Also on the email he mentioned not to give away the link or even tell anyone. So I checked it out... It's U2's almost complete discography, with almost every single on there. Now, it is tempting since I don't have much U2 music (most of the albums, some singles). WHAT SHOULD I DO??????

    There are quite a few sites out there like that, but IMO, it's really a question for your own conscience. Personally, I've downloaded some singles, but full albums are all available on half.com or ebay for literally like 3 dollars. Part of being a fan (IMO again) is actually having physical copies of each album.

    Up to you, I guess.

    EDIT: This came up in this topic.

    I'll read off what some of them are... Mixes for Propaganda (All of them I think), Hasta La Vista!, and there's a lot of singles.

    Yeah, that's a lot of stuff that's really hard to find nowadays without downloading from pages like those.

    Well, there's more to this too. He said he had a huge U2 cd collection. Apparently he's also a liar. All of this stuff is available on a torrent site. down to the last album single and bootleg. Ironically the one I use for rare Who stuff. what would you do? I like to buy my U2 stuff. I've bought in the past: War, Joshua Tree, Achtung, Pop, ATYCLB, HTDAAB, Zoo TV Sydney, PopMart Mexico and various other songs off iTunes. Now I realize I've spent around $110 on stuff. Should I buy the rest or download and save for concert tix?

    You'll probably have another year to save for the concert...buy a little, save a little i'd say.
  7. I think you answered your own question here:

    very nice Jeremy. I am the same way. I absolutely hate having burnt CDs, music off iTunes, etc. I totally love opening a new CD (or getting a used CD) and looking at the artistic album covers and who the band "thanked" for helping with the album.
  9. If it cannot be gotten in any other way, physically (Unreleased and Rare), iTunes or other sites are the way to go.

    However, I do stand for buying the CDs to get top quality.
