I remember buying my first copy of Zooropa at the Walmart where I held my first summer job. Man, the days when you could walk into chain stores like that and buy records like Zooropa! Makes me feel old.
I loved it then and still love it now. I credit U2, especially with albums like Zooropa and Pop, for opening the door for me to explore more electronic music. It also made it easier for me to accept rock bands experimenting with new sounds, like Radiohead and R.E.M.. Zooropa should have sounded foreign and strange, yet somehow I wasn't turned off by it in the slightest.
Too bad we never got a proper remastered set. Tossing it in as an extra in the AB set just didn't feel right (though the recent vinyl release sounds phenomenal).
