Well? There's gotta be one in particular, which is the U2 song which turned most heads??

For me it was Discotheque.
Dunno, never was bothered by U2 before that, but heard it when it was released, loved it, checked out some reviews of Pop when it came out, looked good, got that, LOVED it!!! And that was me, done and dusted, poverty quickly approaching as a result of my U2 addiction.

Sooooooo, which song ruined your life??

First song that came out and caught my attention as a teen. Fell in love with U2 then!

Gotta say the Fly also. When I heard Auchtung Baby I was so young I didn't know what to make of it. First time that Zoo Station started up I thought the tape was broken or something.

Before that (late 80's) I loved the Under a Blood Red Sky-era stuff, but was so very young I couldn't honestly understand it. We just liked Sunday Bloody Sunday because it had the word 'Bloody' in it - a fair indication of our perspective at the time.

I think physically (if that's the right word), you can't really get into a lot of music until maybe the age of 13 or 14 onwards. Which is hardly surprising - music is a sexual as well as intellectual vibe.

lol, I have to confess I made the same mistake..played Achtung Baby for the first time on a cranky, unloved tape player..heard the first few seconds of Zoo Station and thought it was chewing my bloody tape up...

 

[TylerDurden]

I owned Rattle & Hum (11 yrs old copying a cooler older cousin) but didn't make much of it, but a few years later at 14 Achtung Baby came out....instantly addicted.

New Years Day back when I was in college.

[tiny dancer]

For me it was Where the Streets Have no Name. The first time the local radio station played it I told myself that song kicks ass.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

With or Without You, when I was 9. I thought Bono was creepy in that video, with his ponytail and hairy chest (I was 9, I like them now, lol) and swinging that guitar around, but I loved the song. hehe

Became very obsessed at 14 when I discovered Achtung Baby had come out and the rest is history.

I was hooked when I saw them on TV during the US Festival in California on 5/30/83. Bono climbed up to the top of the stage roof, where the lighting was and waved a white flag. It blew me away! They were playing either Electric Co or Sunday Bloody Sunday.

Watching and hearing Mysterious Ways on MTV after avoiding it for so long (turning the channel everytime it was on!!) After that I've been hooked!!!

Gloria. I heard it riding on a bus after taking a group of kids to the SF zoo, and it fit the mood.

Staring at the sun & The Sweetest thing

 

[kobayashi]

my brother had ab and zooropa and i liked them both-considered myself a fan but i was a really stupid 14 years old and didn't understand or appreciate the music they were making-it was just pure rebel adoration, which is fine.

got hooked when hold me thrill me kiss me kill me came out-wicked song.

Angel of Harlem in connection with the best-of and Pride.
