U2
Another childhood favourite – whom I subsequently up ended up following years later. So much has been said about this band already by so many people. So what U2 represent for me is that I’ve been following them all my life and can pick up key points when their music and my life connected: I remember being seven, hearing the closing guitar solo to All I Want is You and being impressed. I remember being ten and hearing One and being stunned by how much emotion was being conveyed in the song alone. And I remember being eighteen, saddened by a breakup – only to be cheered up upon hearing Beautiful Day for the first time.
Key Album: Achtung Baby (1991) Funny thing with U2 fans is it’s either this or the Joshua Tree. Me, I just think it’s one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
