Hello, I am (as of November 2017) a freshman in college who is ready to go to college. I am an easy person to talk to, and don't myself to be overly-critical. You most likely won't find me tearing apart a song or album on this forum, as I am just not like that. If you do catch me doing this, I must have been in a bitchy mood.
U2 has been played in my house since I was born and I always liked them. However, I REALLY started to get into them on February 18, 2016, when I listened to several songs of theirs for the first time in awhile. I hadn't really listened to them much over a few years because my dad started using headphones so I didn't hear the music I listened to as often. Anyway, on this day I went through U2's music and played a bunch of songs I remembered from my childhood. Before I knew it, I was hooked. After a couple of months, I started to think they were cementing themselves as my favorite band. When fall came around, I wasn't listening to them as much, and I was starting to believe that perhaps my interest in them was just a long phase. However, I returned to near-daily listening of their music after only a short break and have continued to do so until now. I went to my first U2 concert on June 18, a few days after I graduated high school, and it was awesome! I have tickets for the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE tour, and I am pumped, as U2 is certainly my favorite band!
I play a lot of video games. I own most Nintendo consoles, as well as a PS4. I also am a big fan of anime and manga. Baseball is my third biggest interest. I'm a fan of the Philadelphia Phillies. I watch other sports as well, but I watch baseball the most.

- U2 Albums Ranked and Favorite Song(s) From Each Album:
Pop - If God Will Send His Angels
Achtung Baby - Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
The Joshua Tree - Red Hill Mining Town
Zooropa - Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
All That You Can't Leave Behind - In A Little While

October - Tomorrow
Boy - I Will Follow
Keep in mind that I like all of these albums a lot. I like a lot of these albums nearly just as much as others, so it was pretty difficult to rank these. It was also hard to choose a favorite song from certain others, so for a few entries, I really struggled between two or three songs. This is what I'm going to put out for now, but this might change.

INXS - A childhood band as well. INXS was possibly my favorite band as a kid, and I love them to this day.
Imagine Dragons - This band is very young, though I like their first three albums a lot, especially the second: Smoke + Mirrors, which is one of my favorite albums. I've started to listen to some of their b-sides as well, and have become a big fan of them.
OneRepublic - This band has some great music. I really love their fourth album, "Oh My My". Native introduced me to them, and I have grown to like them a lot.
