ONE love, blood, life
Because listening to Zoo Station in the morning as I'm walking makes me feel really important, when really all I'm doing is going to the bus stop.
U2 was the first band I really fell in love with. I liked Jethro Tull and Dixie Dregs before that (i know, pretty sophisticated taste for a second grader) because my stepdad played them, but U2 was the first band that kinda became my own. I not only could not get enough of Pop, but I also looked up things about the band on the internet, wanted more of their CDs, bought videos and books... they were the first band I really cared about. Their music just hit the right chord with me, I guess. I pretty much love everything they've done. I've got a lot of memories associated with their music and it's a real comfort to me.
and yes, live they're amazing.
also because I fell in love with them at such an early age they had a profound effect on my taste in music...a lot of the bands I like either influenced U2 or were influenced by U2 (or perhaps influenced by bands influenced by U2...influenced by proxy )

It's *almost* everything about the live shows and the emotions I feel when I listen to certain songs at certain moments...

Something like that... I was more interested in one of your "simple toons"

Re: Re: Why do you like U2?
As usual, Axver gets it right, but I'd take it further. ALthough Pop wasn't 100% on it, I'd say that up until 1998 U2 did every thing right. They spoke to me in every single one of their songs and each sond made a significant impact on my life. They said things that I felt and above all Edge's music spoke to me about thelongings andpain in my heart. The 00's have thrown a handfull of classics up but too many are forgettable.
Music is a huge part of my life and U2 have been a major part of my life for over 20 years. I still love them and I don't pay any attention to new fans who question my status as a U2 fanatic just because I'm not a massive fan of their later stuff. I don't give a fuck what they think.

I like U2 because no matter what type of song I feel like hearing, or what kind of mood I'm in, there's always a song in their canon which I can listen to! Sometimes I feel like hearing that classic, ringing guitar of ISHFWILF, sometimes I feel like hearing the pop grooves of DYFL... sometimes I'm happy and crave Vertigo, sometimes I'm sad and put on Walk On... no matter what, there always seems to be a song to which I can put my moment to.
