I can see with myself that now the tour is over I am listening less and less to U2. So the question is: which other artists do you run to in this low-activity phase of U2?
I'm not burnt out on U2, but I have taken a step back from tour material and Songs of Innocence. Mainly revisiting their 90's work (except Achtung Baby studio tracks): Zooropa and Pop have both been played frequently in the past week or so and I've listened to a few Zoo TV shows. Also listening to their b-sides from this era such as "Slow Dancing", "Satellite of Love", "Two Shots of Happy", "North and South of the River", etc. I want to listen to Original Soundtracks and The Million Dollar Hotel Soundtrack soon too.
Other artists, well thanks to the tour I've been listening to some Patti Smith. Mainly her Dream of Life album (an obvious choice), but also Horses and Easter. The Rolling Stones also have been quite present, with Let It Bleed and Beggars Banquet the most listened to albums from them. And The Jam have cropped up again. Setting Sons is one of my favourite albums, so that's always easy to go back to.
Zooropa is always a mainstay (even during U2 burnout times). My fldefaukt other band is always Arcade Fore but that are quiet at the minute. I usually take in a few local gigs but fkr everything else there is audio books.
Been listen to Patti Scialfa a lot & Bruce's officially released outtakes - Tracks, The Promise & The River Outtakes. Also The Pogues & The Gaslight Anthem. Can't afford to go to any of the Brian Fallon & The Crowes gigs as they're too soon. Hope Bruce brings The River Tour 2016 to Europe in the summer. I've tickets for The Wonderstuff's 30th anniversary tour for Dublin & Birmingham in March and for Stone Roses in Dublin in July. I'll probably go to the Pixies in Cork too in July
still listening to u2 very frequently, mostly AB/zooropa and the first three albums. apart from that I'm still all over noel gallagher's solo work, and I'm having a little snow patrol revival.
