    For sure.  Funny thing is, I was told about U2 very early on by a guy I knew, Paul, who played guitar in a Bay Area band called The Young Doctors.  He saw the band when they first came to the U.S. and were hardly known here.  I ran out and got Boy and just loved it to pieces. So I've long been a fan of the first phase of U2 from Boy through War for a long, long time.  Achtung Baby was huge, but I didn't like it because I loved the more lean sound of the earlier records.  It wasn't until this year, after reading Bono's memoir Surrender, that I really sat down and gave the Achtung Baby album a fair change. After a few listens, it finally clicked... damn, this is a great record!  Talk about missing out for years!  
    On to Zooropa next!
