I used to love U2 so much. I was eleven when I first heard I will follow, and Boy was the first album I ever bought. I developed a raging crush on Larry Mullen Jr ( which never really went away, although now I'm nearly 50 I realise it's always really been about The Edge)
A Day without me
Shadows and tall trees
Gloria
Fire
Drowning Man
New Year's Day
The Unforgettable Fire came out when I was 14. It felt so mysterious and mature after the bombastic shouting of War ( probably my least favourite album). I queued outside Our Price in Hammersmith on the day it was released 
.
I had a U2 scrapbook ( the shame! My husband teases me about it from time to time but in the pre Internet wilderness, info was sketchy and I had to cut bits out of Jamming magazine and pritt stick them into a notebook along with earnest appraisals of song lyrics and swoony wittering about Larry's chiselled indifference.)
The Joshua tree was the album I probably played the most, although Bono really was a major league jeb end by that point. Trip through your wires is a great song. I saw them at Wembley in 1987, supported by the Pogues, Lone Justice and Lou Reed which was amazing. I remember my friends and I were on a high for days after.
Rattle and Hum was alright and I loved the documentary. After years of poring over my scrapbook and reading every interview I could find, here they were being real people, talking and everything! Goofing around and being terribly, terribly earnest. 
And then Achtung Baby came out and I just completely lost interest in them and never bought another album. They got too big, overblown and I couldn't get into the songs any more. In the interim between those last albums I'd left home, started work, met my first husband, and was listening to a lot of Gram Parsons and Tim Buckley. I'd matured, thank you very much 
However, thanks to this thread I'm going to have a proper nostalgia fest listening to the early albums today. ❤️
