Song Contest Part XXII, Host: TubbsFarquhar, Theme: Horses, Votes Due: Sunday 9pm AEDT

[Plugger35]

You are a tough judge if you don't rate U2 as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Not many rock bands have had so many great albums over 20 years.

Boy, October, War, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop. All That You Can't Leave Behind.

They peaked with Achtung Baby, that is in my Top 10 albums of all time, a game changing album.

My Mum loves U2 and she and my Dad have seen them live. I grew up listening to their biggest hits and Mum liked random ones like "Lemon". Definitely appreciate their 90s/00s stuff and they have some incredible songs that still make me tear up ("Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own").

I also believe U2 wouldn't have such a negative reception if Bono wasn't such a sanctimonious knob.

That song the fly is the best song I've ever heard

I don't think Bono is as sanctimonious or pretentious as he gets made out to be, he still has a down to earth sense of humour.

I saw him hanging out with Mick Jagger where they joked about starting a lead singer magazine like all the guitar magazines.

A whole theme built around nomming Wunderhorse.

Sounds like it's strongly INXS influenced to me. And really? Greatest song?

I like a handful of songs from most huge bands and artists. The only huge artist I ever had more than 2 or 3 albums from is Neil Young where I've had tons. And there were a few disappointments there of course. Quite a few.
But Springsteen...2 or 3 over the years
Dylan ...3 or 4. U2- 1 album Joshua Tree which I adored. Stones - like so many songs but never bought an album. Bowie - 2 or 3. INXS- none. Again liked a few songs of course.

Never liked Icehouse -can't say why exactly. and would never put them in a world class category. Out of step with a few here obviously.

Icehouse were better before Man of Colours.

Hey Little Girl is one of my all time fave songs.

I liked that one. Sadly, I've earwormed one I don't like. Maybe I can force it to change to that.
Ooh..actually it's been taken over by The Boss with 'hey little girl is your daddy home' so I'm good now.
Thanks for your help.
