I first discovered U2 during the War Album. I was 12 years old. I remember hearing New Year's Day on the radio. I liked them, but it wasn't until The Unforgettable Fire came out when I was 14 that I fell in love with U2's music and have loved them all these years. UF was the first LP I bought myself and I drove my father crazy playing it over and over again until I literally wore it out and it had to be replaced. That was when I went back to purchase UF again and add War, October and Boy to my collection.
Still to this day, UF has to be my favorite album to date. My son who is 8 years old says that his favorite song is Bad. His goal is to learn to play it on his guitar. (I'm raising a smart kid--- HAHA)
