all of that presupposes too many things that arent so. there is no natural and just heirarchy to the music world, where good music is popular and bad is unknown. in many cases, as in other fields of art, its the opposite. it just takes people with more mature taste in that feild to understand it as being so, and you shouldnt be insulted by that - it doesnt have to be condescending. the general public is simple, challenging but truly substantial music is a niche thing. another fallacy is that, in fact, the stuff is "unlistenable" and devoid of substance. enough so to the point that anyone liking it is faking it or disingenuous. you have to realize two things: that there is a substance and quality in the genre, that you are missing; that isnt being heard. its a fact. two, that people can and do like said music for sincere reasons, and arent just posturing

When are you going to stop playing the "if you don't like it, you just don't get it" card? Will it be when I forsake U2 for Neutral Milk Hotel, because if that's what it takes...

i disagree. please do judge by Zooropa, because it's as much a masterpiece as the Unforgettable Fire. if you don't get it, you just don't. too bad.

i don't care much for green hills, myself.

Zooropa is my favorite U2 album. I can't get enough of Lemon.

Yes, I know. I added nothing to this discussion, but Lemon, man. Lemon.

the reason i like u2 is the moods they create on their first 4 - 5 albums, the unforgettable fire was a masterpiece, and i even enjoy their weaker work at that early time, like october.
it's just that feeling they transport, that feeling of standing on green hills in ireland at afternoon. if you don't get it, don't try to judge them using zooropa and stuff. the early work - that's "where the heart is".

plus, some stuff on achtung baby was also genius. acrobat is superb.

It's not like we're the only ones on this board, btw. I wonder where the rest is.

U2 are gonna release the unfinished album on iTunes Music Store the moment it turns up on p2p.


And I really like the Mars Volta; U2 is meh. Each to his own.
