I can't think of any other band or artist I listen to with a massive catalogue where some songs don't grab me straight away...but slowly grow on me. I find I'm liking almost everything. I never really warmed to Zooropa, Pop, some tracks on No line on the horizon, and Passengers. But now I LOVE listening to a lot of this. I also thought Pop was terrible, save for maybe 4 tracks. Now I like a few more tracks than before. Zooropa I only liked half the album, but now I like the other half just as much. Passengers I didn't get, but now I appreciate the experimentation. Soon I'll probably dig out Rattle and Hum and Unforgettable Fire that I didn't warm to straight away, and like all of that too.
What is it about these guys? They seem to have a knack for making these melodies that don't grab you at first, but soon they loop around in your head and you just love them. I didn't think much of 'Please' at first, but now I find I have that tune in my head a lot! Their approach to music at times is simple and not always ear grabbing, but then they get you some how.
