  1. Don't take me seriously, either! I like Boots more than Miami or Vertigo, so I'm crazier than you!
  2. I never expected this to be so controversial. If we ranked the U2 albums (with a large sample size of fans), October would be very, very far down the list. Likely bottom, if not second.

  5. Wild Honey is much better than:
    Elvis Ate America
    Refugee
    Stand Up Comedy
    One Step Closer
    Grace
    4th of July
    Another Day

    Haiti mon amour
    Maybe the only song that I hate that I know they were involved in any form.

    Including no collaborations but Passengers:
    I don't dislike none of it, but if I want to listen to Eno music, I'd rather play a Brian Eno album than this one, so even if I don't dislike them, pick almost any of the acoustic ones.

    Including b-sides and rarities but no collaborations at all:
    Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad.
    Similar to last one, if I ever wanted to listen Sinatra music (which I don't), I'd rather listen to him. I need to be in a very special mood to get into this one.

    Including only the 13 albums:
    4th of july, maybe.
    And I like it, but if there was the need to sacrifice one song in order for U2 to exist, that would be the one I could live without.

    Some comments on other songs:

    Boots: Nice song, terrible lead single.
    Stand Up: Nice b-side, very weak album track
    Stranger in a Strange Land: Nice demo
    The Refugee: Interesting b-side, weak album track

    Miami: awesome
    Grace: awesome
    Scarlet: awesome
    Numb: awesome
    So, just curious... If Boots wasn't the "lead single" you'd like it more?

    People thought The Fly was a shitty lead single, too!

    October bootlegs are fantastic. The songs sound much better than the album.
  8. I find all of these songs interesting in their failures. Wild Honey is just a really generic U2 sound with zero character.

    Listening to Wild Honey:

  9. maybe ... is hard to compare early work when they were young and growing and the last cds where they already were the best band of the world

    Saying this : Another day is poor , but Stand Up Comedy and Wild honey
  12. Also, the Silver and Gold version in the JT Deluxe Edition... what the f*** was that?
