Read about it here:
I remember the day this album came out, because for the first time in my life I knew I needed to buy an album. I was still learning about the power of music, the importance of some music in history, and that there was more to life than classic rock and new wave (I was still about 2 years from really learning about hip-hop, funk and soul), but this album pushed me head-first into my love of music in a way that isn’t easily described…
And still, other albums, bands and songs have come along and obscured this one’s place in my personal musical development. Obscured, but never replaced. This one album really started it all for me. An amazingly solid record, front to back, that made U2 into the biggest band of an era, really. Look at just a portion of the track listing and see for yourself:
“Where The Streets Have No Name”
“With Or Without You”
“I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
“Bullet In The Blue Sky”
“In God’s Country”
“One Tree Hill”
Amazing… and still, only half of the album’s tracks. One of the best selling albums of all time from one of the best bands of all time.
And as I get ready to post, amazingly, the radio just started playing “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For…”
