I thought it was their 14th full-length 'studio' album. Can any U2 afficionados post their complete discography so we can fully understand the depth of the argument. I mean, really, what else are we going to do all day?

Yet somehow OK Computer is considered by many the best album ever even though it has Fitter, Happier on it.

1980 Boy
1981 October
1983 War
1983 Under a Blood Red Sky
1984 The Unforgettable Fire
1985 Wide Awake in America [EP, doesn't count]
1987 The Joshua Tree
1988 Rattle and Hum
1991 Achtung Baby
1993 Zooropa
1995 Melon [Fan Club Only Release, doesn't count]
1995 Original Soundtracks No. 1 [Passengers, not released as a U2 title, doesn't count]
1997 Pop
1998 The Best of 1980 - 1990 & B-Sides
2000 Hasta La Vista Baby! [Fan Club Only Release, doesn't count]
2000 All That You Can't Leave Behind
2002 The Best of 1990 - 2000 & B Sides
2004 How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
I don't think counting the Greatest Hits makes sense, but if you follow the logic above, it comes out to 14. More head-scratching will ensue, I'm sure.

But I still don't buy that's what Bono meant. I figure he just thought it sounded cool.

I think Vertigo is kick-ass songwriting---it's pretty damn hard to write a chorus that catchy. Now you want to talk about a lame U2 song, I'd have to go with "Numb"....that's just brutal.

LOL - I knew there'd be backlash I do like U2, quite a bit actually. I do only have both GH albums however, but I think of them as a seminal, groundbreaking band. This song sucks. I just hope that people aren't being fanboys about them and refusing to admit the obvious - that this song blows (and the iPod spot is worse). I am an enormous fan of the Smashing Pumpkins, and I can say without a doubt that Disarm sucks.

... so your defense of your views, given a second chance, falls back on using the word "sucks" a couple more times. Erudite and insightful to the max. Why engage in dialogue when the word "suck" says it all? Sir, dare I say -- your critical thinking and explanation skills --- suck?
