Back when I was probably born and mostly around when I was six, Pride (In The Name Of Love), With Or Without You, All I Want Is You, Streets (my favorite) and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For were on the radio constantly. I was one of those kids who never knows band or song names, so it took until middle school for me to realize it was U2; my mom was like 'this band's U2, they have a really distinctive sound to their music' and now I find that hilarious...I remember not liking Desire or Mysterious Ways much, and New Years Day held a certain fascination for me, though for a long time I thought it was by another band.
I saw a clip of an ad for 'Vertigo' on TV when I was in middle school. Bono in glasses singing, I do believe, as usual. I liked that song but thought it was by a different band.
City Of Blinding Lights I heard in a movie and fell in love with, and heard on internet radio and bought, though I wasn't buying full albums back then. I got Vertigo, too.
I know I must have heard Gloria on the radio too...
Magnificent I heard in Italy in a restaurant about 2 years ago, and I knew it was U2 because of the guitar, and I loved the lyrics, but I only got that from the album. A year before I'd heard Sunday Bloody Sunday being essay-analyzed by a music class in the school I would be going to there, and thought the song had too much percussion.
Sometime last year I heard Sunday Bloody Sunday again and was amazed at all the energy in it, and that started Katie's U2 obsession. I bought No Line On The Horizon in May '10, hated it though I like it now, and then bought Boy and the love affair began. I now have everything but the Best Of albums.
