I wrote a blog post on how the band got it right and blew away world with its record-breaking album. I'd love to hear about your experiences with this awesome record.

Lots of great memories here in Ireland - two great shows in Croke Park in June 1987 and the unforgettable performance in Cork in August 1987. Always preferred the Cork show.

Brilliant read For some reason I didn't know you were around when they released TJT, I thought you were more or less my age!

At least that's why I found it so appealing to me. Having first listened to the complete album in 2009, it obviously was not the sound most people my age were accustomed to. However, I remember that the album did not feel aged and I connected well with it.
So when I heard people saying it was an album that clearly did not belong with the typical sound in the 80s, the fact it still came across as fresh to a millennial in the late 2000s shows its value as a timeless piece of work.
