  1. Today, 9th of March, it's 25 years since one of the most influencial and critically acclaimed albums of the 80's (and maybe of all times) was released.





    Long live.
  2. Amen!

    Goodbye now! I'm off to go listen to 11 songs in a row
  3. great remember when i went to buy the following saturday, listen the vinyl on my father's turntable... ' was 17... i remember i was obliged to listen to it several times to love it... first listenings, i did not like it... now i think i've listened to it hundreds or 1 thousand times in 25 years... really
  4. I bought the vinyl the day it came out..I was 20,and I loved it..I kept playing Streets over and over that day...Its still their best release IMO...
  5. As far as I can remember a girl in school had the album, so I got to listen to some parts of it, other tracks were being played on the radio and I was trying to catch (and tape) as many of them as possible. I finally got to buy the album (CD) in the summer of '87.

    I think I may have actually bought it at the Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. famously one block down from the "Whisky a Go Go" in Los Angeles. Since we didn't have a CD player available while vacationing, I had to wait to get home to actually play it...must've been two weeks later. The agony!

    For those not around during those days, a CD player was between $800 and $1200 at the time and in-car CD-players wouldn't be available until 1988.
  6. Overrated among U2 albums... but still a bloody great album!
  8. and where is the celebrative boxset???
  9. Haven't you heard? It comes out this year, just in time for Christmas because Paul McGuinness is beyond broke, trying to pour all his money into fighting those dang downloaders. It comes with 40 CDs and 16 DVDs and a hell of a lot of extra crap you might not think you need, but you will.

  10. Well, I don't think it's their best or second best album like most people seem to think. I'd probably rank it somewhere around fifth. So what I was saying is I think that it's overrated against other U2 albums.

    It's actually quite a revolutionary since it comes with 5 copies of the album. An album with spare copies!!!!!!!
  12. Just to make it even more collectible, you get a copy of Rattle And Hum in there for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
