This is a question especially for any fans who were into U2 during their early years -
Were U2 ever considered a "cult" band prior to say, 1985? Before they broke into the "mainstream" so-to-speak - whether it be from the Live Aid performance or the release of The Joshua Tree.
My idea is that they did have a big cult-like following prior to that time. But since I was only a child and did not get to experience it properly back then, I cannot be sure.
I'm interested in people's experience as a U2 fan in the early 80's...how were they perceived prior to '85?
