Favourite U2 Single
New Year's Day! Always a great experience to hear. A close 2nd (to me, connected w/NYD): Sunday Bloody Sunday. These are the 2 songs that introduced me to U2 in '83 & made them my all-time favorite band for life, so they'll always be my favorite 2 songs. Since I guess SBS wasn't released as a single, technically my 2nd favorite 'single' would be 'In God's Country.'
Favourite U2 Person
BONO!!! (& his mates. I appreciate each. Vive la difference.) Let me add: Edge's guitar-playing from the start was a Unique, never-b4-heard phenomenon!!!
Fav. Other Bands
My longtime 2nd-favorite (after U2, which will always be my favorite): Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. (B4 U2 came along, my fave was The Police.) These days, I'm loving 'For King and Country' & Toby Mac, for ex. Not only do they rightly glorify the King of kings, Yehovah/Yahweh, & my Lord & Savior, Christ Yeshua/Jesus, but their music is great, too. There's A Lot of music that I love & appreciate in many 'genres,' including gospel/Christian, folk-rock, folk, soft rock, rock, classical guitar, etc, but when it comes to bands & popular music, as far as what band's music is my all-time favorite, which band is 'my band,' & what band I'm interested in keeping up with: it's a U2-Universe for me! Always will be! Not overboard, but I do have a love or passion for U2 - for its humanitarian 'take' on sociopolitical consciousness, its willingness to use its spotlight for the common good, & of course its music!! : )
the Point is the venue where in 1989 u2 played one of their most famous concert on new year's eve. The place was renowed in 2008 with O2 - a telephone company - sponsorship (money) and named O2 Arena since then. I think there are a few O2 arena in the world
THANKS again Monica! So, when U2 played at that venue in Dublin in 1989 it was called 'The Point,' but in 2008 it was refurbished & renamed 'O2' Arena after a phone company sponsor. Got it. (If I got anything wrong here, just let me know.)
