U2democrat - you're absolutely right about this one. I'm in new school since September, have new class with new people and all that stuff... One day I was talking to one of the boys about U2. He heard only "Joshua Tree". And that's exactly what he said about it: "It's so boring". Later I found out he's one of the teens with that Typical Music Taste...U2democrat said:(...)
Joshua Tree is too boring

So let them listen to POP. Whereas if adults were given a dose of POP, it might totally disillusion them about U2. So I'd say give POP to the teeny boppers!
Cheers,

all that you can't leave behind and how to dismantle an atomic bomb are, again, the most easily accessable and digestable records and they are catchy, thus, best for teens.
