Re: Achtung Baby
There isn't a lot of stuff out there that still sounds awesome and new 15+ years after it came out.
One of the downsides of the Internet is that it allows like-minded people to form communities, and sometimes those communities are stupid.

Re: Achtung Baby
Yeah, I thought it was great

Re: Achtung Baby
I agree but I think the Joshua Tree album was a little better
Shut the fuck up and train

Some dips along the way (Pop era.) But 30 years later, not relying on pure nostalgia to keep them going. Great live shows. Great albums. Albums stand up to the test of time. Because almost all of their great albums do that. Sound good years later.
Who else can make the claim to be the greatest band ever? Not most impactful, best record, most innovative, but greatest band?
Until of course Guns n Roses get back together.
here are 3 bands that are probably not the greatest bands ever, yet are better than U2
1. Led Zeppelin
2. Black Sabbath
3. Hanson
Bono is a chode. 2 good songs in 30 years is not enough to be taken seriously.
Re: Achtung Baby
Black Sabbath is the greatest band of all time.

Re: Achtung Baby
Rush has been around longer and is way more talented than U2. No posing for the cameras either, which is good, cos Rush is muy ugly.

Re: Achtung Baby
You know that radio voice, that does things like ads for monster truck rallies etc? Way over the top voice? In the DC/Baltimore area, a decade or so ago, there was a concert at one of the big arenas, and in the ads for that concert The Voice would intone:
“Many bands play rock-n-roll. Only one band is rock-n-roll.”
The ads were for a Rolling Stones concert. Can't leave them out of any “greatest band ever” conversation.
