Dad3353 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Definetly not a 'Top 40' chart topper, but I'd offer a bit of air time for this meritous solo piece, from the first record I ever bought...

If so, my apologies; I didn't (couldn't...) listen to it all the way through. I just skipped to every thirty seconds or so, and even then I found it long, very long.

lowdown Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 A biggie for Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. (not that they needed any more biggies, of course). Not being able to count to five didn't stop these two beat makers..."effectively funking it up for the '90s with a shuffling jeep beat."
