ABB lovers are the winners of the world. We have great taste & we are keeping the Stones in the game. There will be a rumble at 7PM at PS 138(Lafayette Ave. in the Bronx) between the Emotional Rescue He Man Haters Club & the ABB Lovers Winners Club. Bring chains. Let's get it on! |

Ready....Fight!!
the perfect Indian Girl combo will ruin your "Streets of lovers" team.
Then, the tambourine of Let me go will suddently hit you and the bass line from Rescue, made by a certain Ronald Wood (he used to play with them, he s a nice session man on ABB), will finish you.
Keith will sing "All About You" during your funerals. |

cool video ... and awesome song. I've never understood the U2 haters here.
as i've said before: line up their careers by year and U2 has been creating REALLY good, relevant music FAR beyond the years the Stones managed to. Stones ended with Tattoo You, while U2 just keeps doing it. Also - they've never caved in to the kind of krap Cohl pulls. Note for note, their ticket prices can't be beat, and make the stones look like criminals.

I'm not a U2-hater, but I still don't agree with you. If the Stones had never recorded another note beyond what's excerpted on the "London Years" singles collection, they'd still be greater than U2 can ever hope to be. |

Plus I don't agree that it all stopped with Tattoo You. I agree that none of their albums were ever that big again but teh quality ebbed & surged over the next 25 years. Perhaps leaving Ahmet Ertegun was NOT the right move after all. When they were with him they had a string of #1 album releases. |

I agree with your disagreement! All the post-TY albums are at least momentarily great. VL and B2B are as good, if not better, than Zooropa and Pop, so that takes care of most of the '90s, head-to-head. So if the '80s were U2's '60s, that means they've got a long, long, long way to go before they stack up. |

nice. I think JT was in the Mickey Mouse Club with VH's new bassist, so he's probably a good fit for their new frontman. |

Just stack them up year by year and look at lognevity of creativity. I dig B2B, VL, ABB, etc... but seriously, to compare the same stretches of their career (regardless of teh 60's vs 80s thing) is hardly even worth the time.
Undercver vs. Pop
Dirty Work vs. All You Can't Leave Behind
Steel Wheels vs. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
I rest my case. U2 is still creating new, fresh, avant garde, contemporary music at a time when the stones were offering the biggest pieces of crap they ever came up with. I live for the stones (love them more than U2, easy) but I don't even own DW or Undercover - and i have no interest in receiving them as gifts. That said, I don't think U2 has made a shit album since Rattle & Hum, and I think Zooropa may have been one of teh coolest albums of the 1990's. That album rocks my world.

Apalling competition, U2's albums were all #1 on both UK or US with not less than 4 top 10 singles from each albums. |

I'm not trying to slag the stones... they're my boys.
just saying that U2 deserves some big time credit for their staying power, whereas the stones fizzled in 83.

I don't find the argument from sales very compelling. |

Why jump around chronologically like that? It's much simpler to compare them contemporaneously. I don't think much of Zooropa, and think rather lowly of Pop. I liked the last two U2 albums, and I liked ABB, too. Whether the stuff is listened to by young people or considered relevant or "avant-garde" -- I couldn't care less. |

Unless you're using a literal, 20-year framework, I'd add that ATYCLB and HTDAAB are more comparable, in these terms, to the Stones' punk-era comeback. As Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune complained, the last two U2 albums were a calculated return to roots, rather supposed envelope-pushers like Pop.
I will grant you that the Stones (more specifcally, Mick) have not been as successful as U2 at incorporating European club/dance music into their basic sounds. |

Won't persuade me! The reason why is the long silences between U2 releases. Let's say, for yuks, that the Stones took four to five years off from 1971 until the present -- which is pretty much what U2 has done since the early-'90s. If you do that, you can pare down the Stones' catalog to nothing but unquestioned greatness. |

Something like this:
1971: Sticky Fingers
1975: Exile on Main Street
1979: Goats Head Soup (plus the best of IORR and B&B)
1983: Some Girls
1988: Tattoo You
1991: The best of post-'83
Also throw in, for good measure, the fact that U2's releases over the last 15 years have generally been short, while the Stones' have been overlong.
You get the idea...

The Stones are my all time favorite band, and I love all, ALL of their albums. However, U2 is my 2nd favorite all time band. I don't understand the haters either.
I also like Sinatra though. It was cool to see him in the video twice. |
