Between the bass line in the verses, and Edge's tone/effects during the chorus, SDABTO is one of my favorites.

Stand Up Comedy
is pretty widely regarded as a shit sandwich, though.

The one where Bono sings like a pretentous jagoff.

Hey RPB, off topic but I was trying to remember a song you posted in a thread about music you're embarassed to like.
It was some Chicago bar band, but I can't find the thread.
I think the lyrics were something like "like the sunshine I am golden" or some shit.
Do you remember what it was?

Bullet the Blue Sky is almost a complete rip-off of Stranglehold by Ted Nugent. I heard Stranglehold on one of the SXM stations a couple of weeks and actually thought I was the first to realize it. Apparently people have been discussing it in the interwebs since 1995.

I've never 'got' U2.


Similar to Led, AC/DC etc. Why Mac and I are never meant to be

I name "Pride (In the Name of Love)," which perfectly illustrates Bono's brand of fake social progressivism. How daring to write a song celebrating MLK in 1984.

He was a kid from Ireland in his early 20s when he wrote the lyrics.

It really is amazing how you can hear the difference between the real and the phony. It's very hard to conjure emotion. You listen to the shit he actually knows and feels like the stuff about the Troubles and he really puts it across. With something like "Pride (In the Name of Love)", he may as well be singing a jingle for floor polish.

I guess he was quite precocious in his phoniness.

"Desire" is also a complete music debacle. Some people say it steals from "Lust for Life," but I think that's giving the U2 abomination way too much credit.

That stupid Brandmeier parody song "Wiser' never failed to bring a smile to my face, though. :lol:

It's closer to "I Want Candy."

"Mysterious Ways" and "Even Better Than the Real Thing" have to be in the team photo.
