U2 - Boy

Their first album, which I love so much. Sadly, though this album didn't get the recognition it needed, but they did tour with this album around the world, and they fell in love with the U.S. The radio stations down here started playing them here, and college radio pick them up almost instantly. I love how raw this album sounds to me, I say that because it didn't have that flare just yet. But the U2 sound was great, the lyrics were a bit weak, but hey it's a first album. You can't always get it right until you keep going, and that's exactly what they did, too. What I didn't know about the cover until I saw someone said it, "the "boy" picture that was used for the UK release, was banned for the U.S." That's what got me a bit frustrated that the original cover got banned.

My favorite songs are:
Out Of Control
An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart
Shadows And Tall Trees
The Ocean
I Will Follow
Another Time, Another Place
