      Oh...am I in the wrong place?...yes, definitely less punk here than the Monkeys ;)

  2. It's here, yes it is! It's only taken 2 weeks but I have finally chosen my favourite SOI tracks. These are in no particular order because it depends on my mood, but here it is...Every Breaking Wave, California, Volcano and Cedarwood Road...It's in writing now, no changing my mind!

      I'm not being restrained at all...I love the whole album ! No favourites !

      I like your thinking Pain, why restrict yourself. It was a choice souly based on whether or not a song made me sing, jump for joy, dance or play air guitar.

      Now crying is a whole different crieria and would require a seperate list!

  3. My son was doing his spellings earlier, came to the word edge, looks up at me, big smile and says (very enthusiastically) "The Edge!"...brain washed much?

      He wants to play the guitar and (I quote) "be the coolest rock star in the world like Bono", I never told him Bono was the coolest, he decided that for himself ;)

      Alma...looooong time no see...Haven't seen you write your opinion on the album...You vanished !

      I know what you mean Alma I've avoided the press as much as possible for that reason, I like to see them taking it on the chin, making light of it and sticking it to them in a completely non-offensinve way ie. "It's the punk rock thing to do" and saying that it's great to be the talk even if people don't like it. Putting his great diplomacy skills to use there :)

  9. Been thinking about the albums Apple release and the misgivings I had on behalf of those who don't have ITunes or are more traditional and I have decided to 'stand by my band', they are forward thinkers and as a loyal fan I will be too, they have hit the ITunes charts big time, good for them after 35 years in the business :)

      It is not easy to balance an at times militant hardcore fanbase, make contemporary music which appeals to the young and make good business decisions (yes they have to be business men too, that's life, get over it, it's part of the reason they are still around). I am proud to call myself a hardcore U2 fan who respects the canny business decision they made here and loves the music they brought to us this week as much as the music they brought us 35 years ago, I am glad of my download an...

  10. So I have my own personal confirmation of a truly great set collection of songs, I was listening through...yet again...and was singing along with all my heart to the parts I know and found a deep well of joy spring out from inside of me and lift me up whilst singing to California, then during Song For Someone I suddenly and unexpectedly started to cry so hard I couldn't actually sing anymore as the true meaning of the song took shape in my mind. This...THIS!...is the U2 magic, you can...
