Now, the next artist is another who was a featured guest artist on the Robbie Robertson album from yesterday. He also shared the stage with U2 on the Conspiracy of Hope tour for Amnesty International. The main link is the producer, who in 1986 produced this artists biggest selling album. They teamed up again for the last time so far on another album that didn't sell quite as well, but still was a very solid album. The lead single off of this album also featured Claymation, which this artist had employed in the video for his biggest hit ever on the previous album. So what I want is the producer, the artist, the album, the song, and the year. Easy enough?

December 14 - An Cat Dubh
Today's song is indeed An Cat Dubh - or the black cat - by U2 from 1980's Boy, a blistering debut album filled with youthful energy and political fervor. An Cat Dubh has a wonderful dissonant opening riff from The Edge, followed by a driving bass riff by Adam Clayton over a very steady groove laid down by Larry Mullen Jr. As with a lot of U2 songs, the tight interlocked play of drums and bass allows for The Edge's guitar to wander all over the place, all held in place by Bono's voice. I simply love this song - I think it is one of their best real deep tracks, buried in their discography, but not forgotten.
