90s (Oasis-era) U2 was Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop. Not vintage, but certainly more appealing than an Oasis tour. By the way, you'd get to hear plenty of 80s U2 at the show. What would Oasis reach back for at their show? "When I'm 64"?
It's hard to see this album as being significant to anyone who wasn't young and impressionable when it came out. Try introducing a young listener to Oasis today with this album. There might not be a single song they connect with. You'll have better luck convincing them Radiohead's The Bends or Foo Fighters debut from the same year are significant albums. It's worth a relisten but will never be in heavy rotation again.
Always an entertaining read, guys. I liked this record when it was new but then went a long time without listening to it unless I was in the vicinity of a radio playing something from it (who am I kidding, it’s always “Wonderwall”). Anyway, I recently found it used in a record store. I carried it around for a bit before putting it back and buying other stuff. I don’t think I need to revisit this one, though the title track is splendid. I own solo records by both Noel and Liam, the lyrics haven’t improved.
I can’t recall what I got that day. I usually get 4 or 5 records. I think it being 2 records with only 2 or 3 songs per side might’ve helped sway me.
I do like Tom Waits. An old roommate used to put him on at parties, it cleared the house and I could get some rest but I really have enjoyed a few Tom Waits records.
The boys wanted a fire pole but I told them we needed to spend our funds on something more relevant to the business. So our practice green will be ready in late May
Just to clarify: the answer to CJ’s question was Oasis, right? (Unless he also provides a time machine to 1983.)

We're going to need to know which albums made the cut over Oasis. Hopefully it was Tom Waits.

Also, I love the idea of an EONS headquarters.
It's an exact recreation of The Beatles' house in "Help!" with the sunken beds in the living room.
That’s exactly how I was picturing it and with a firehouse pole for you all to slide down when you leave.
That's part of the expansion plans
