They all happened after I was young :). I'm the same age as Bono.

I did see them in 1983 when I was sort of young (22).

[QUOTE=MBoyd;10827543]Here you go. This settles it. Achtung, Baby and Zooropa are the Zoo TV era. :lol: I will be buying the deluxe set.

Ditto. I'll pre-order this puppy the moment it's listed.

I prefer early U2 because it had more of that post punk/new wave sound.

Nope:

Melon (Back in the Propaganda era)
then from u2.com
U2 Communication (CD ROM)
Live From Ireland CD set
ZOO TV Live
Artifical Horizon
Duals

(I think that is all the fan club cd's)

You were probably born when New Kids on the Block and other crappy boy bands were popular



Starting with "All That You Can't Leave Behind" I could start enjoying their new music again, though for me it's still well below the 1983-1991 run.
Same here. I think I only listened to Achtung in 1991 when I bought it from Costco and it came in a cardboard digipack which did not make me happy.

The U2 in the 90's was not my U2 with the crazy costumes, wearing makeup, & dressing up in drag in some videos. The Discoteque video really turned me off with the village people attire.


I bought Boy, War, and October after All That You Can Leave Behind and got back into U2.

I wish I listed to Boy when it originally came out but I was too young then.

I love both Joshua and Achtung, both have a place in my top 40 albums of all time. But I would go for the Zoo TV era because I was a bit older then and it was the first time I really could really immerse myself into U2.

Sadly I've yet to see them live, the only time they came near me since 1987 was in 2001 and I couldn't get off work that evening.

Everything up to and including Joshua Tree for me. So I guess the 80's era, though I didn't care for Rattle & Hum.
