Band Of The Week

Jarvmeister · Aug 9th, 2004, 03:16 PM

I thought I may aswell start a topic where we can discuss a famous band each week. I noticed that they might be many individual topics on certain bands, so I thought why not make a thread to discuss a band each week.
I will name a band for us to discuss every monday.
I think we'll start with U2.

U2 are my all time favourite band. Most of their music is very varied. If you like rock n' roll, or ballads, or fast rock, or slow rock, hard rock or soft rock, U2 cover all these genres.
They have had many great songs like "One", which is beautiful in lyrics and music. My all time favourite albums by them are "Achtung Baby", which gave U2 a new look for the 90's, "All That You Can't Leave Behind", which spawned several great hits like "Beautiful Day", "Walk On", and "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of", and another album which is very popular with fans, and a favourite of mine is "The Joshua Tree", which spawned wonderful tunes like "Where The Streets Have No Name", "With Or Without You", and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". "War" is also a great album, which features one of the greatest protest songs ever, "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and a great hit single, "New Years Day". U2 are just brilliant, and whenever I'm feeling down, listning to their music brings me up again.

What are your thoughts on this week's band?

U2?

I really like this band. Great music, great songs, great performances. Very good choice.

**Spanner** · Aug 9th, 2004, 06:56 PM

I agree. Brilliant band, U2 is. I was just listening to Stuck in a Moment.

Gale Weathers · Aug 9th, 2004, 09:27 PM

did they sing a song for one of the Batman movies?

**Perminisconious** · Aug 9th, 2004, 09:39 PM

Yeah, they did "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" for Batman Forever. Bono and The Edge also wrote "Goldeneye" for Tina Turner.

Gale Weathers · Aug 9th, 2004, 09:53 PM

I love that song! Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. Lets all take a moment and listen to it....

Great song, huh?

TURN IT UP! I can't hear it!

U2 is pure genius. Bono is one of the greatest musicians of all time. I think my favorite U2 songs are "Beautiful Day" and "Stuck in the Moment..."

Gale Weathers · Aug 12th, 2004, 03:44 PM

Who is the next band?

Aerosmith?

Jarvmeister · Aug 12th, 2004, 04:45 PM

Well what I planned to do was discuss a band every monday. I don't see any problem with discussing Aerosmith, so I think that will be the next one from Monday. In the meantime, this week's band (U2) is still up for discussion until monday.

Gale Weathers · Aug 12th, 2004, 04:59 PM

alright then. Just pretend I am the senile old lady who sits in the corner and randomly says things every now and then that don't really make sense. That is me!

So, who is Bono?

Jarvmeister · Aug 16th, 2004, 03:51 PM

Right, it's monday again, so it's time to discuss another band. As suggested earlier on by Gale Weathers, this weeks band for discussion is "Aerosmith". Discuss here.

Gale Weathers · Aug 16th, 2004, 05:58 PM

A fine band indeed, I may consider purchasing one of the CD's today.

Jack Wade · Aug 16th, 2004, 10:01 PM

Aerosmith is my all-time favorite band. Need I say more?

Gale Weathers · Aug 17th, 2004, 02:49 AM

They have been around for quite some time!
