geography said:My brother had moved out at 18 (I was 15), and he left some of his cassette tapes behind:
- Sex Pistols: Nevermind the Bollocks, Here are the Sex Pistols
- The Clash: London Calling
- U2: Wide Awake in America
I really got into all of the above, got into alternative music (Stone Roses, The Cure, others), but I thought U2's "Bad" was awesome.
The Joshua Tree came out soon thereafter and I snatched it up. U2 has been my favorite band since.
I wound up really getting into Boy, War, and October, and I think the first side of Unforgettable Fire is rivaled only by the Joshua Tree.
Achtung Baby kept me hooked, of course. Zooropa and the work they've done since have lessed U2's grip on me, but I like All That You Can't Leave Behind although it is a little soft-rock for my taste. Pop was just painful more me. My favorite band had "gone over" to the other side with that one. Thank goodness for ATYCLB - it brought them back a little closer...
