Led Zepplin had “Presence” and U2 has “October.” By that I mean these are more “challenging” records that any decent band will eventually put out, but for U2 they did it on their second release. It’s an interesting album with only one song that got any real radio attention, “Gloria.” Was there another one? I give ’em their propers for effort, but I don’t find “October” as engaging or exciting as “Boy.”
Dude… I don’t know so much about October, since I’m only marginal on U2 (though I do have four of their albums on vinyl), but I do loves me some Presence. Mostly, I have soft spots for “Hots on for Nowhere” and “Nobody’s Fault But Mine” but whose fault is that?
