  1. 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.
  2. 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 I appreciate music not only for my own listening pleasure but also as a historical document of the times.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.
  4. 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.


  5. 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.
  6. 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

  7. Eddie's "tail?" Him falling? Ouch.
  8. I love that they left the falling in there

    I always liked Drive My Car,though I agree with Yellow Submarine.

    Who You Are was a disaster as a single,as was Boots for U2...Crazy Remix IMO was perfect for my bathroom run each time.I dont know why U2 just didnt play the studio version of Crazy live.I thought it was going to be a great tune,and IMO,a much better lead single than Boots.

    PJs first 3 releases are mega....IMO, VS is as close to 10 as one could get,as far as a followup release.I love those 2 albums.Reminds me of my youth 20 yrs ago. .What happened.....LOL
  10. Beep, beep, beep, beep, yah.

    Oh, Paul. So silly.

    With you also being an Oasis fan, I would guess you would also consider DM and (WTS)MG as a comparable one-two punch for a band's first two albums.

    I think PJ gets the nod when you consider the first three albums of both bands (although Be Here Now isn't a bad as many say it is).
  12. I agree on all points.Actually,Morning Glory was so good,I started to listen to Oasis way more than PJ from '95-'98.As you know,I thought No Code was awful when released in '96.Live though,NC and Yeild are fantastic.
