20 is too young. you need to be able to remember a time when U2 weren't irredeemably corny, which either happened with rattle and hum or with zooropa, so i guess better terminals would be 35 or 40 respectively (it was rattle and hum tho)

more than 2 years ago, I'm certain that an online magazine published an article about how the incoming college freshmen class doesn't know stuff. U2 were probably in there between 'Dennis Rodman' and 'Eureka's Castle'. someone probably posted a link on facebook.

Coming from a big U2 fan I think their albums are all good (in part)-to-great, with the two weak links being rattle & hum and how to dismantle an atomic bomb, but I still jam those on occasion. R&H is best listened to with the live tracks removed probably but even those have some good moments.

Pride (In The Name of Love) - Dunno this song at all, were the lyrics inspired by Lord of the Rings?
Mysterious Ways - Definitely know the chorus, and I like how funky it is in general
Numb - Nope, but what is this song? Seems kinda 'out there'
Discotheque - Feel like I know the parts that aren't the chorus, maybe? Why isn't this song on Spotify?
Go West - Not actually a U2 song, originally by the Pet Shop Boys
Obsession - Not actually a U2 song, originally by Animotion (?)
Don't Disturb This Groove - Not actually a U2 song, originally by the System (?)
Doin' It - Not actually a U2 song, first result on Google gives this link:

It seems surprising that a popular music fan could have grown up in the US without hearing "With or Without You" before the age of 28 but at least you do know "Where Streets Have No Name".

I like the intro to this, sounds like a mid-period Metallica song

the 'batusi' is a solo dance Batman did after he ate a really good empanada. interestingly enough, it was later adapted into a dance for waterface, though they changed the name to 'watusi' as a cute pun on the original.
