Now That's What I Call U2!
« on: October 24, 2017, 08:10:06 AM »
Do you remember the "Now That's What I Call Music" compilation albums?

I think it may have been a UK thing - but for those from elsewhere in the world who may not have heard of it - take a look here.........

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Now_That%27s_What_I_Call_Music!

I thought it might be fun for us to create this forums very own "album" - Now That's What I Call U2!

Idea is for it to work like this....

People nominate 1 U2 track from each of the decades - The 80's, the 90's, the 00's and the 10's.

So for example:

An Cat Dubh
Mofo
Stateless
Sleep Like a Baby Tonight

Then after a couple of weeks of nominating I will create a series of polls where we will vote and whittle the tracks down to a list of 15 "essential" U2 tracks that will become this forums "album" NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL U2!"....

Make sense?

Sound like a good idea?

Sadly NOW is still going, at least here in the U.S. and they're probably up to 500 by now.

Hawkmoon (even tho Streets is my fav, Hawkmoon deserves a spot here)
The Fly
Mofo
The Troubles

Was going to go with Hawkmoon, but in true 'Now' spirit, I thought it was hits only - so stuck with hits nominations!

You're probably right about it should be hits only...but to ME, Hawkmoon is a hit!
