Why don't we get a little discussion going about the similarities/
differences of James and U2? I love Sometimes (Lester Piggot), & I
think it sounds a lot like U2 (80's U2). Or maybe U2 sounds a lot like
James? For any James fans out there, listen to the song...the way Tim
speaks/sings ("...delivers him on, delivers him on" & "endless
rain")...AND THE CHORUS...it's fuckin' AMAZING, the actual SWELL of the
song, the feel of it just goes along with the lyrics/theme. And One Of
The Three kinda has that U2-ey sound/feel. I can totally imagine Bono
singing it. What do you think?

And whatever DID happen to Aingeal? I was on this list one and a half
to two years ago when she was a daily voice here. Her U2 encounters
were quite interesting.
