Rock n' Roll Doggie
No, this topic is actually a serious one, haha. Let me explain. My own mother has listened to a variety of music as long as I can remember. Enough so to the point that I've thought about burning a CD for her of various bands that I like and including some songs she can listen to as well (or at least songs I can see her liking anyway). This is something my sisters have done for her in the past, and obviously, I'd like to include a few from U2 as a result.
Now she listens to a lot of stuff, but I actually can't help of only thinking about easy listening stuff when it comes to her. Perhaps this is because the CDs my sisters have made her in the past consisted mostly of stuff like that! My mom's in her late 50's, so her tastes actually range from anything pop/rock since the 1950's to the major vocalists of today. The Beatles, Elvis, Blondie, Hall & Oates, Celine Dion, you name it. But even then, I'm not sure if I want to just include something like In a Little While and Your Blue Room, for example. She actually surprises me every so often by liking a song that comes out of left field (for example, a Kanye West song), but I don't think she's going to get into anything like, let's say, The Fly or Bullet the Blue Sky. Despite that, I think she'd be open to just about anything.
So that brings me to my question... what U2 songs would you put on a CD to your own mother, and any specific reason why? I look forward to seeing some suggestions here!
