These pairings suck.

Tough call.

U2.

[madyaks]

Brruuuuccccceeeeeeee

[Fishbone]

U2 flat out rocks:

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

And so she woke up
Woke up from where she was
Lying still
Said I gotta do something
About where we're going


Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain, maybe
Run from the darkness in the night
Singing ha, ah la la la de day
Ah da da da de day
Ah la la de day


Sweet the sin
Bitter taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out


You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice


You know I took the poison
From the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing...ha la la la de day
Ha la la la de day
Ha la la de day


She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging
And the storm blows up in her eyes
She will...


Suffer the needle chill
She's running to stand...


Still.

this should be a national semifinal game, not 2nd round matchup

"You ain't a beauty but hey, you're all right."

Tough call is right. I probably like more U2 stuff on balance, but the stuff I like by Springsteen I like more than any individual thing U2 has done.

The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle and Born to Run are about as good as rock and roll gets. Slowly, after those records, Springsteen decided, it seems to me, that he should make the music less interesting. This culminated with Born in the U.S.A., an ubelievably overrated record. Is there a more boring song than Dancing in the Dark? Or Pink Cadillac? Or Glory Days? Same tempo, boring music, boring words--I really hate that record.

I've always though "Bad" was U2's best song, but they have a lot of good ones.

Darkness on the Edge of Town...is just an incredible album.

Saint in the City and Growin' Up..is one of my most favourite tunes..the lyics are just incredible..so gritty and real..nothing U2 has ever written about quite compared to that tune...

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere..you know it was really hard to hold your breath...

I found the keys to the universe in the engine of an old, parked car...

I dunno...I think Bruce Springsteen is the quinessential American rocker...he's the everyday guy...

And the E Street band is so damn talented...

I don't think Dev gave near as much thouight into seeding this as he would have the NCAA Basketball tourney.
