  1. When the hell was that? How come you never told me (about her)?

    I listen to Acrobat and Ultraviolet when I'm angry or down, and also Weeping Willow by The Verve and Keys to the World by Richard Ashcroft. Not that it helps, I get into depression even more then, but at least I can really feel the pain....erm

    I remember I was listening to Peace on Earth when I heard of the 2005/7/7 London attacks
  2. The Joshua Tree is a monastery in Dublin, near the stadium wall while U2 play therein. I just turned 18 a few weeks ago, I'm there with a christian youth group for a holiday, and I can listen to the concert for free. Unforgettable.

    Achtung Baby is the ZooTV tour in my hometown Frankfurt. An incredible evening, complete information overload, cars hanging from the ceiling. Lou Reed sings a duet with Bono from the screen. A synthesis of rock, art and social statement. Everything you know is wrong. Watch more TV. Unforgettable.

    Hard to beat for a new album. JT and AB had decades to grow on me.

    It was just before I came here and back then not really a nice memory
  4. I get the points raised but, despite 97 being a good year for me and one soundtracked mostly by Pop, it still doesn't change my less-than-enthralled opinion of that album or it's songs. Maybe I'd instead say that great songs are heightened even further by memories, maybe good songs made better by them, but mediocre songs need one heck of a special memory to lift them above the mediocre.

    So far, I've got the credit crunch, a sick dog, smoking withdrawal and a miscarriage for NLOTH to soundtrack - so it ain't looking good.

    But the album's ultimate standing will still live or die over the quality of it's songs when re-evalued in about ten years time, so I do agree on that much.
