I think we can all agree

I'd be surprised if my friends (14-15) knew more than three U2 songs. They'd know Vertigo, possibly Beautiful Day, maybe Elevation, maybe Sometimes and ISHFWILF (but they wouldn't know its by U2).

You and I are about the same age in the same part of the world, right? (I'm 18) I grew up with this general expectation people were well aware of U2's back catalogue. I mean, when I was seven, I looked forward to hearing Sunday Bloody Sunday on the radio; when I was eleven, New Year's Day and When Love Comes To Town were regulars on the radio, and I knew who they were by. Anyone else I asked knew too. Many people in my grade owned U2 CDs or live footage just as a matter of course because "it's U2!"

It genuinely surprises me when I meet people in their teens who do not know U2, Bono, the JT Holy Trinity, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride, One, Mysterious Ways, the ATYCLB hits, etc.

Damnit you're good.

Oh, and if you want heavy U2, put U2's cover of Paranoid on there.
