Nice to see that Bono recorded some songs to safe his own life.

Well tonight thank God it's them instead of him

Corrected for you.

Incorrect unfortunately.

Different people like different things! One man’s Coldplay is another man’s Talking Heads .... or woman’s, obviously.

You've literally come onto a thread to diss someone else's taste.

Perfectly valid comment IMHO, given the thread title

Of course. But the FIRST man/woman is WRONG.

Bono - 60 songs that saved my life

Are we supposed to go back in time to stop them being made?





Come on people - we kid because we love.

Jesus Christ .... that made me choke ...

Just imagine your reaction if I was as funny as I think I am.



(If we ignore that fact that makes no sense whatsoever)

Love him or hate him, he has great musical taste.

Some brilliant tracks in there - Love Will Tear Us Apart, Song To The Siren, New Gold Dream, Life On Mars, Hurt, Neon Lights, The Sound Of Silence, etc.

Thanks for posting the link.

15 songs I would strongly agree with, so worth playing the playlist to see if the others jog my memory.

I would have thought that anyone producing a list of 60 favourite songs would have something in there that is little known, not particularly critically acclaimed, or even a bit embarrassing, but is beloved or important to you for entirely personal reasons. It's like his list has been focus grouped by a group of music critics all from his generation. No country songs, no classic throwaway pop songs, no weird punk or indie songs that most people have never heard of, no records that you love, but most people would think are crap and not a single soul song. His list is, quite literally, soulless.

Yeah, fair to say it's a 'pop' list.

There's a seperate one for Irish artists, btw...

As an aside, it’s 30 years since Achtung Baby next year....I hope they do a tour like they recently did for Joshua Tree.

There’s a few curve balls. That Ramones track isn’t the most obvious, nor Kraftwerk.

Yes, I was going to say that. The artists are predictable, but many of the tracks aren't. I mean, Walking In My Shoes is a great choice of Depeche Mode track.

Whereas Satellite of Love is a shite choice of a Lou Reed track.

It’s a great song imho.

It's decent enough to comfortably be a Reed top 10, but it's not the track you kick the others out of bed for.
