NLOTH and Zooropa. The rest was all a great surprise, fortunately.

Achtung Baby. I remember hearing it (years after they released it mind you) and having all their pre-90's music on the brain. It was like a breath of fresh air and so exciting.

Honestly, partly October, because i got into U2 in the 90's and was looking at the cover going... ok is this the same band??? They look way to different! Also Zooropa, I thought it sucked, after a few listens, it's probably my favorite U2 album.

I became a U2 fan listening to HTDAAB and ATYCLB and kind of knew about their 80's stuff...so I decided to start digging for more of their material, and checked out Pop from the library. I brought it home, turned it on...and was completely dumbfounded. Here I was expecting something that sounded remotely similar to their other stuff, and I was getting what sounded like techno. I hated it at first but now I'm quite fond of it.

For any fan that wasnt about, to hear the opening bars of Zoo Station, will never fully appreciate what a WTF moment that was, after The Joshua Tree and Rattle And Hum Albums.
