My favorite bands have changed over time... so I guess I'll just talk about the first one.
I was doing sound for my high school play which spanned over several decades. So we had to pick songs that represented certain eras to be played at certain times. When we got to the 80's-90's we played U2's "With or Without You" That's when I found my first favorite band.
I loved the guitar sound and how the whole thing kind of hypnotized me.
I was really into U2 for years, but since "Elevation" I haven't liked them.
But I think I have just about everything they released up through "All that You can't Leave Behind."
Never went to a concert because I don't like crowds. (Maybe one of the reasons I like new bands - I can see them live, up close and personal.)
When I was going through a break-up a few years ago I watched one of their live DVD's with a couple of girlfriends while we binged on icecream and cookies. That was pretty much the closest I ever got to seeing Bono or the Edge up close and personal. But it made the whole heartbreak thing easier. So despite the fact that I'm no longer a U2 fan, I'm thankful for all that they gave me and still listen to their older albums.
