OT: The all encompassing HFSabres music thread with no rules (as long as it’s music posted)

re: U2

Last album overall I enjoyed from them that they put out was Rattle and Hum, and the last studio album I enjoyed was Joshua Tree.

Couldn’t find anything I liked from their 90’s albums, and their 2000’s+ albums felt too commercial for me.

I'm of a similar mind. I like some of their first three albums and started to lose interest by "The Unforgettable Fire" when they started to get some level of popularity. I haven't really liked much of anything I've heard from them since. *shrug* Not my cuppa, but if others enjoy it, have at it.

This song was used to perfection in the series finale of The Americans though

My youngest has asked for "a list of songs I think she should know". I'm not sure how to approach a mix tape that large.
This would be my dream project haha. But one easy starting point would be 1001 songs/albums books. I think playlists of those are available on spotify. What I wouldn't use is Billboards Year End Hot 100 lists - lots of garbage in there that doesn't stand the test of time.

She and I have discussed that publisher and how their editorial folks always defers to older things regardless of the content. They'll put something on their list and then take it off a few years later to put something new on rather than have the balls to drop some of the cheese from the '68-'72 era.

The ask was also for personal ones - stuff I like or thought was influential to music I enjoy. Even the Trouser Press who I often enjoy for their takes doesn't always agree with my taste and I know a bunch of music reviews of things that I still enjoy to this day conjure up images of kicking the writer right in the plums whenever I read them that approach best of lists with caution.

Interesting interview snippit...


Always been a big Deep Purple fan (Ian Gillian with the incredible pipes), but Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow - back in the MTV days - “Street of Dreams” was a big favorite.

Also, check out the lyrics to” Knocking at Your Back Door”, from Deep Purple.
Scandalous. :)
