Hello

Hi everyone,
I just joined. Very happy to be here.
I started listening to U2 in 1989 at the age of 13. This gave me enough time to absorb the 80s material and become a real fan, looking forward for AB. The change in their sound came to me naturally, in fact it was not really perceived as a change by me.
In a way I am a 90s U2 fan. Thanks to U2 I started listening to electronic music and bands like Orbital, Chemical Brothers, Portishead and Stereolab.
I saw them live for the first time during the POP tour in 1997, a golden year for me being a young poet, a student, travelling the world and feeling like Jack Kerouac.
My top five U2 albums are AB, TJT, POP, NLOTH, SOE.
Other favorite musicians / bands I listen often today: Goldfrapp, Tindersticks, Leonard Cohen, The Verve, Muse.
Looking forward to interesting discussions!

Welcome. Pete!

Welcome Pete the Chop, and nice introduction.

If you still are creating poetry please feel free to share some of it if you like.

Also good to see another Pop lover in the group

Hi and welcome.

Nice to have another Cohen advocate in here. 

Cohen, Portishead, and Tindersticks? You're a man of good taste.

Welcome. Pete!

Thank you!

Thanks a lot! Cohen is a true poet, isn't he?

Thank you! Kind of melancholic music but inspiring

I was wondering whatever happened to you. Welcome to the forum, I’m sure you’ll be a treasure.
