The Thursday Canon: U2

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's nearly Easter! As most of our poptimists will be supping fine beverages at the Union Tavern tomorrow, the Good Friday Canon has been shifted forward to Maundy Thursday Canon. And who better to feature than everyone's favourite Cafflick* boys, U2. What a rubbish name for a band! It hasn't stopped Bono and the boys being really rather successful though, 39 hits = 13 ticks for you lot to dish out...

*NB This may be untrue but whatevs I needed a tenuous link.

The part beginning 'walk on by, walk on through' is the chorus, surely? I mean, it's not exactly the most conventionally structured song, but there's most definitely a verse/chorus/verse/chorus pattern in its the first half.

It's a bit like Thunder Road in that respect. BOSS CANON PLS.

Anyway yes it's their one really amazing moment I think. "Where The Streets Have" is actually good, too. The drums on "Sunday Bloody Sunday". The fact of "The Fly" getting to #1. Erm that's it.

I was quite sure this was good, but as I needed to weed something and couldn't remember how it went... c'est la vie.

Many of my favorite songs by them were not singles.
