Guys, Achtung Baby was released today 27 years ago.

Yesterday


Greatest album ever made.


November 19th in the US. Back in the old days, new releases came out on Tuesdays, which was what 11/19/91 was.

40
Trying to Throw your Arms Around the World

Edge was a great/unique guitarist. Sunday Bloody Sunday is clearly a cut above the rest, also written by Edgy.

Edge didn't really invent that style of playing, non-blues-based, heavy on echo, on the upbeats. But U2 put it in front of a different audience. Keith Levene (PiL), John McGeotch (Souxie & the Banshees, also Pil) and Wil Seargent from Echo & the Bunnymen (this one is debatable to me, the other 2 are not) were contemporary influences. That being said, he did develop his own style by incorporating other elements of blues and electronica/industrial. Change the lyrics and singer and early U2 didn't sound that different from Bauhaus.

Well, he invented it for me...but I stand corrected and I will check out Bauhaus. Thanks for the info.

This is a good list, and the Joshua Tree non-hits were fantastic. Definitely nostalgia--I was a junior and senior in high school, and we had some fun--but those are just damn good songs. I'd add the Boyd-mentioned "In God's Country" as well. "Bad" live was fantastic.

Hate to say it, but today they sound like a decent Cage the Elephant cover band.

As a high-schooler, I smoked Newports at the time (what an idiot), and I can still taste them every time I heard Joshua Tree or Wide Awake in America.

I wonder what would have happened if the Passengers album had been released under U2's name. Probably would have made a lot of people mad, even though everyone seems to like "Miss Sarajevo" enough. "A Different Kind of Blue" is like the Eno-est thing they ever recorded, probably because of the wind chimes at the beginning and Eno himself doing vocals.

Also, Geordie from Killing Joke deserves a shout out. Nasty, stinging guitar licks.
