@Albumism Not overly familiar with this one but Life is absolute quality

@sianharries_ @mrchrisaddison Sports results, too easy. Give them a real challenge and ask them to book a holiday on Ceefax instead.

@TealCartoons Amazing!!

@Albumism Originally cassette on release, then cd a few years later.

@1970sfootball @stusfootyflash I'm forever torn between Moore, Davies and Motty to be honest. Each one brought something truly unique to the matches they commentated on.
Moore always seems to shade it for me though.

@Albumism Bought it on cassette the morning it was released in Virgin Megastore, Dublin. I was mesmerised from the second I hit 'play'.
The first 50 people to buy the album received a huge wall poster with the Violator artwork, which stayed on my bedroom wall for about 5 years.

@FlipsideVinyl This album lived permanently in my walkman for an eternity during the 80's.

[Ken Coogan @kencoog]

@plc69 That's an interesting take. I guess you could say there's a lot more 'warmth' and a softer sound to the likes of 'The Unforgettable Fire' than this album has.
Perhaps certain influences and the music of the day would have contributed to the slightly more industrial feel.

@Albumism @U2 But to answer the question.....I sure do remember hearing it for the first time.
Dave Fanning (Irish radio dj) played it on his show the day before it was released I think.

[Ken Coogan @kencoog]

@Albumism @U2 I can't think of any other way of describing Zooropa as a poor relation of its predecessor.
Still has some great moments though (title track/The First Time/The Wanderer).
Definitely a 3/5

@Albumism Production on this album is faultless.

Saturdays were made for buying vinyl.......

@jfender67 Love this album!

[Ken Coogan @kencoog]

@plc69 Can't go wrong with this really.

[Ken Coogan @kencoog]

@MichaelWarbur17 I remember seeing this in the cinema as a short when I went to see 'Night on Earth' years ago.
Love it!

@stusfootyflash That's goal celebration from Clarigde has got 'jesus, did I just do that?' written all over it.

@TealCartoons They're fantastic. Would you have watched the original series back in the 80's?
I was always amazed at how much the features were exaggerated but how the likeness was still spot on.
