Achtung Baby was released on November 19, 1991. I was very excited for the release of Achtung Baby as I was now old enough at 19 to finally go to a U2 concert. My mom wouldn’t let me go to the Joshua Tree tour because I was only 14. But I was even more excited to finally have new U2 music. I [continue reading]
I love blogging the A to Z Blog Challenge – blogging everyday in April, except Sundays, on a specific theme. I loved doing it last year, and I enjoyed it even more this year. I think I enjoy the challenge so much because I am one who likes to to lists things, rank my favorites. This [continue reading]
A favorite of mine about U2 that begins with A is Achtung Baby. Sorry Adam fans. When AB was released almost 21 1/2 years ago in November 1991, I must admit that I did not like it. It was such a departure from The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum, and actually from all of their previous [continue reading]
I must admit that when Achtung Baby was released in November of 1991, I did not like it. It was such a departure from The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum, and actually from all of their previous albums. I had to listen to it several times before I fell in love with it, and then AB was the only [continue reading]
One of my favorite U2 songs is Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. It is a very personal song for me. It is literally about my first love. When we broke up, I made him sit down while I read him the lyrics. I couldn’t have written a more perfect song for the way I felt. I have never [continue reading]
I had a great time in April blogging each day about my 26 favorite U2 songs in the A to Z challenge. So much fun in fact that I wanted to list my favorite U2 songs (each highlighted with links back to the original posts) in this one blog post with the addition of honorable mentions, so I truly [continue reading]
My favorite U2 song that begins with W is Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. It is one of my top five favorite U2 songs off one of my favorite U2 albums Achtung Baby. Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses means a lot to me. It is a very emotional and angry song that breaks my heart. In [continue reading]
My favorite U2 song that begins with S is Summer Rain. It is a b side off one of my favorite U2 albums All That You Can’t Leave Behind. I love Summer Rain for its lyrics. I can’t even pick out my favorite line because the entire song is perfectly written. It says exactly how I want to [continue reading]
My favorite U2 song that begins with M is Mysterious Ways. I have always liked Mysterious Ways. It is not one of my favorite U2 songs, not even one of my favorites off Achtung Baby, but it is my favorite M U2 song. It is another U2 song that I fell in love after I heard it live. Actually I [continue reading]
My favorite U2 song that begins with F is Fly, The – uh I mean The Fly. I had to cheat a little with my favorite U2 F song because there aren’t any U2 songs that begin with F that are my favorites. I love The Fly because of its lyrics, but I didn’t truly appreciate it until the 360 tour [continue reading]
My favorite U2 song that begins with A is Acrobat. It is one of my favorite songs off of Actung Baby, which is one of my favorite albums. I was lucky enough to hear Acrobat live in Hershey, PA sitting outside the stadium listening to rehearsals for the ZooTv Outside Broadcast tour rehearsal [continue reading]
DAY 36 – JUNE 18 – U2 360 #6 – ANAHEIM2 Anaheim was the only city where U2 played two back to back shows on that final leg of the 360 tour. I almost didn’t go to the second show because it was on a Saturday night, and I had to drive across the country in 3 days to make it to the [continue reading]
Achtung Baby was released in 1991. I had to listen to it a few times before I fell in love with it, which I did. It had a completely different sound from any of U2’s previous albums, but the lyrics were amazing. And for me, music is all about lyrics and drums. Who’s Gonna Ride Your [continue reading]
