I gave a friend of mine [a CD-R of] ''The Unforgettable Fire' for their birthday today [and a CD-R of the b-sides]...was considering 'October' but was listening to 'The Unforgettable Fire' late last night and suddenly fell in love with that album again!
I, personally, thought it was the perfect album to give someone since there's such a mix of different songs on there! Probably a 'perfect' Masterpiece!
So, erm...now the point of this thread is...good choice? Bit of an odd question, I know, but was just wondering what, if any, U2 album you people would give to someone who's not heard much U2 before?
I was aiming to avoid 'The Joshua Tree' and 'Achtung Baby' since nearly everyone knows those and I'd sent my friend a few tracks from each. 'Bad' is indispensable, really...and the B-sides cannot be beat either...except maybe the 'Joshua Tree' ones ...close call.
