    more than a suspect
    Black, for example, still keeps on growing whenever i listen to ... Jeremy will surprise you
    the growth wil go on and on if you ever fall into live performances

    I'm still discovering U2 live, never mind other artists I think I have bootlegs for around 4/5 other artists than U2 and it's only one or two bootlegs at that. I had high expectations of Jeremy going into it because it's listed as one of the top listed too tracks for Pearl Jam on both Spotify and Last.fm, probably the reason I wasn't into it, my subconscious wouldn't allow it.
  3. I hope what I'm about to write makes sense:

    It may be a bit more effort, but I think you should stick with the studio albums. You don't have the influence of radio "bombarding" you with the hits (as I had over the past two decades) so you can make your own judgment as to what are truly your favourite songs. Listening to the Greatest Hits album might influence your decision in a similar manner.
  4. The thing with live PJ is that most of their shows since 2000 have been officially released - so you have lots to choose from and all are of high quality.

    Unfortunately, this is not the case with most other artists - including U2.


  5. it depends on what his subconscious will allow hehehe

    Lol, well considering I only remember 'Jeremy' being listed in the top songs I will being going in blind.
  7. You're like me Tim Once was the standout track on my first listen. The other tracks take more time to get into.

    Once is such an awesome high-energy rocker.
  8. I admit that I am easily influenced. Songs like "Jeremy" and , say, "Mysterious Ways" are very good (classics) but I thiink I rank them higher because I feel I'm supposed to do so. I appreciate music not only for my own listening pleasure but also as a historical document of the times.

    I'm weird that way.

    Well, you can keep them apart. I call The Beatles the greatest band of all time, but I say I like U2 better.
  10. I feel that Ten is a better album than the others because is "flows" the best out of all of them - very cohesive sound amongst all the tracks. The next two albums (Vs. and Vitalogy) have many standout tracks (that are more listener friendly which you might enjoy - I do) but, to me, also contain one or two clunkers.


  11. I'm okay with distinguishing "the greatest" vs. "my favourites" in terms of bands. It's the details in particular songs for any given band that gets me. I'm also better at it with bands that I wasn't around for. For example, I avoid Beatles hits like "Drive My Car" and "Yellow Submarine" as much as humanly possible. I have a harder time doing so with a song like "I'll Go Crazy" or "Get on Your Boots" - they're U2 concert staples so I do my best to keep giving them a chance - but I hope they drop both of them on the next tour.

    As for PJ, I don't I'd have given "Who You Are" much of a chance if it wasn't a single back in 1996. I initially wasn't much of a fan of "Wishlist" either - although it eventually grew on me after more listens.
  12. I saw this earlier today and I couldn't stop laughing. The version is all fine and very good, but look at 4:02... LOL hahaha
