Can't wait to see what else is on the list.<br /><br />My friend's daughter (now all grown up and known as the author Sara Zarr) was listening to this in her bedroom as a young teen. I wandered in to chat with her and noticed the U2 poster on her wall and she started to tell me about this band. I didn't quite get it that day, but liked what I had heard and was glad there was a "comercial band" not in the CCM mold but with powerful spiritual imagery that deep kids like Sara could listen to. Then I noticed they quoted my fave musician in one of their songs (Cockburn's line "got to kick at the darkness 'til it blees daylight.") Now I'm a casual fan, still haven't bought more than a few songs and haven't seen a live show yet (poor Bono's back injury caused a recent near miss). But I'll get around to it :-). Thanks for the review. I'll have to revisit this album. <br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37900702.post-41630243526253017502010-06-26T12:41:50.692-07:002010-06-26T12:41:50.692-07:00That's true - I have 4 years on you so I got i...That's true - I have 4 years on you so I got it when I was 16 and my mom couldn't really control what music I was buying. <br /><br />Joshua Tree is one of only two albums I can think of that I owned on vinyl, cassette and CD. The other? <i>Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band</i>.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37900702.post-89840666348389017422010-06-26T09:46:11.911-07:002010-06-26T09:46:11.911-07:00HA!
