Was the Paul Simon album the only real Eno for hire creative flop?

Achtung Baby - U2 (1991)

xp -- I can't think of any others, but if this poll has taught me anything, it's that I don't know as much about Eno as I thought I did.

― Josh in Chicago

No Line on the Horizon. Besides, Surprise is mostly Simon-produced.

Zooropa - U2 (1993)

The first couple minutes of the title track...

I think I need to get past my issues with U2 and actually listen to these records.

Wrong Way Up - Brian Eno/John Cale (1990)

SHOULD BE HIGHER

I think I need to get past my issues with U2 and actually listen to these records.

they don't need any more fans

You're both right.

You don't gotta be a U2 fan to love Zooropa.

The Pearl - Harold Budd & Brian Eno with Daniel Lanois (1984)

Speaking of Budd, I listened to The Pavilion of Dreams last night for the first time and I wish I could go back in time and put it on my productions ballot.

Ambient 1: Music for Airports - Brian Eno (1978)

As a huge Eno fan, and a big Lanois fan, and a pretty big U2 fan, it never ceases to amaze me that I repeatedly forget "No Line on the Horizon" exists. I mean, it's not terrible. Just ... worthless?

No Pussyfooting: by far my favorite Fripp album (have time for occasion Fripp songs of course)

Speaking of Budd, I listened to The Pavilion of Dreams last night for the first time and I wish I could go back in time and put it on my productions ballot.

one of my favorite records

pleased that The Pearl placed high, I love that record

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! - Devo (1978)

i wonder what eno thought of akron

thinks, even!

Did he ever go there? I picture him sending the band a telegram summoning them to Cologne.

I know it's a rare instance of a band being unsatisfied with the Eno treatment, even if Eno was apparently pretty hands off. I guess he took too many rough edges off? Similar to this, I suppose:

TELEVISION with BRYAN ENO

i have no idea if he has ever gone to akron but it would be cool if he did

Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks - Brian Eno, with Daniel Lanois and Roger Eno (1983)

apollo is the most highly revered ambient eno that i just can't get into.

i love music for airports, the pearl, thursday afternoon, music for films, etc, but the apollo vibe always makes my stomach turn for some reason

Pretty sure I'd never heard any of it until the Trainspotting soundtrack.

it has a twee lullabyish feel to it a lot of the time, less of an uncanny edge than a lot of his other ambient stuff

I love it

Ambient 4: On Land - Brian Eno (1982)

Apollo is my favorite ambient Eno after DM, particularly the second side. I count maybe one treacly moment.

too low, i love that organic ambient record.

Discreet Music - Brian Eno (1975)

xps it's the 2nd half I'm thinking of, with all the warm twangy stuff, and I'm prob overstating it a bit. Stuff like "weightless" tho

anyway, thread needs more ENO PICS dammit

<3 discreet music

i first listened to it as part of a silly sleep experiment that i wrote about for the alt weekly i worked for
