I'm showing my age here. but early in my college career (83 or 84) I had a friend down the hall from me who told me I just had to hear this amazing band from Ireland.
The album (and it was on vinyl) was War - the band was U2 - and she was right, it was fantastic - not a bad song on the album... We went shopping that week and picked up Boy and October -- (i still have that vinyl somewhere too)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (War) and I Fall Down (October) will always be my favorite songs. They were a great band then- somewhere along the line, they got too big for their britches and lost their roots... yeah they got "famous" but I really think their music suffered.
