Unlike Loverboy and REO Speedwagon, bands whose music I enjoy but never bought their albums (despite wanting to), U2 is one of those bands I never wanted to buy their albums. (The same with Led Zeppelin.) Don't get me wrong, U2 and Zep are great bands and I enjoy listening to their songs on the radio. I just never felt compelled to buy their music; my album collection didn't feel "incomplete" without them.
Anyway, of all U2's music that I do like, I enjoy their earliest music the best. This particular song, New Year's Day, came from their 1983 album, War, and was inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement (Solidarność).
