  1. My first real contact with U2 was in 2001, when I got a fake copy of ATYCLB. Then I didn't get into U2, but I began to appreciate a lot their music, loving songs like Beautiful Day, Stuck In A Moment, Elevation,... During summer 2005 I went more deeply into U2 by listening to The Best Of 1990-2000 in mp3 on my PC. I loved songs like The First Time, Electrical Storm (William Orbit mix), Mysterious Ways,... But the first real album I bought was HTDAAB on Christmas 2005. After that I began to listen to U2 more and more, untill I fell in love with them during summer 2006. Then I decided to get all their albums, so I got The Joshua Tree in August, October in October (:+ ), Zoo TV Live from Sydney in November, U218 SINGLES Deluxe Edition for Christmas, Boy and War in January, Achtung Baby in April.

  2. Rattle and hum...back in 1988
  3. We had the CD "U2 Live From Chicago" (still don't now which tour but i guess around JT-period/Rattle and Hum) + The DVD of Rattle Hum so the first U2-music i heard was from the late 80-ies
    Then the first official album i heard was Dismantle because it was the latest album they brought out...
