U2's Bono was one of the few real rock heroes of the 1980s, leading the Irish band to international recognition with a charged, political approach to music. The band's early efforts brought a stadium-size presence to alt-rock, with Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's distinct guitar lines interacting seamlessly with the rhythm section of bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. In 1987, U2 broke through to superstardom with THE JOSHUA TREE, a grand culmination of their '80s soun...Read More >

Calm down fans of POP ! I’m not talking about “Discotheque” or a few b-sides that are ass-shaking worthy. I’m looking at the early 80’s part U2’s catalog.
Let me explain why the need for this post…..
I recently checked out a U2 tribute band called Zooropa because cover/tribute bands kind of mystify me. (For an answer to this interest, read chapter/track five of Chuck Klosterman’s Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs.)

I had to think about how to reply to SWozniak's comment on the Bush music video. He said he hates stuff like that and, worse, the one somebody made with "Imagine," he says, is sacrilegious. Anybody seen that one? Haven't myself. Anyways, my thoughtful (I hope) and non-flippant comment is below. Sorry for getting all serious and shit. I'm not really that kinda guy.... MORE
