Is anybody "scientifically correlating" this??

Is there a pattern appearing??!!

 

[nadie]

First album: Achtung Baby
Favorite song: The Fly or Sunday Bloody Sunday

 

[Cactus Annie]

Well the first album I ever listen to was when I borrowed Pop and Actung Baby of a neighbour in 1997. I borrowed a few albums from him and I borrowed these because I liked both Discotheque and SATS and I think I thought EBTTRT would be the dance version which I liked. I may have listened to Pop first. The first album I bought of theirs was ATYCLB and my favourite song is With Or Without You

 

[cjboog]

First album: HTDAAB
Favorite U2 song: Vertigo

I was absolutely blown away when I first heard this song and realized for the first time that music could be more than just Brittany Spears, hip hip, bubble gum pop on the radio shit.

Vertigo rocked my world

Well, Bad seems to be a popular favorite.

 

[eviltwin]

not seeing a pattern, but I'll play anyway...

first album when I actually owned CD player: JT, when released.
first single '45: Sun City
first CD-single: Desire

fave single track: the Fly
fave single package: BD (Always, Summer rain)
fave album track: Until the End of the World. Closely followed by Zooropa, LAPOE, Do You feel Loved, Wire)
fave album: AB
fave live song: Bullet. Closely followed by One Tree Hill, El Co. Desire.
fave DVD: ZooTV Sidney

is there a pattern? I hope not, but I like guitars.

Bad seems to be a popular favorite.

used to be a favorite of mine, perhaps because of Live Aid. But has since slipped from my top10.

Conclusion: No scientific correlation at all. so you enjoy your U2 folks


Except: Bad, Acrobat and Streets seem to be THE ultimate fan favorites. (Like we didn't know that already)

Fans DO NOT have a particular BIAS for songs from their first U2 album.
