Make No Mistake alone blows away anything on "She's The Boss" and "Primitive Cool"...Talk Is Cheap put the Stones back together. At the time, Mick was panned by the press and Keith was glorified for Talk Is Cheap...It had Mick shaking in his boots as it turned out that Keith might actually be the Stone with a solo career. Though I listen to Ron Wood's solo albums

Hairball, You are right. My point was a bit confusing. I guess what I really wanted to know if these signature songs by these U.S. artists are as overplayed in other countries as they are in U.S. Does that makes sense? And I was curious to know what people from other countries considered U.S. Rock songs overplayed in their countries. Pecman

Rattle & Hum had more hits on it than the Joshua Tree...but not as many big hits. The problem with Rattle & Hum was people were burnt out by the over exposure and success of the Joshua Tree which was a monster release for a couple of years...With Rattle & Hum...the exploration of Americana seemed forced...like "hey...we are in this crowd now"...with the Hendrix and Dylan

QuoteSocrates1 The Edge has pretty much always played with a delay pedal, right? Their sound is based on airy-loops like that. Except for their first two albums, which sounded more like 80s punk and that band called The Alarm. U2 probably started with their delay-pedal-sound on War, and then especially on Unforgettable Fire..is that about right? So, U2's hallmark guitar-sound is one

My point is the Edge hides behind his lack of talent as a guitar player with Effects. He is a mediocre guitar player at best...But is a master using effects.
