龜 I am about the same age as you and the first time I remember being aware of U2 was when they appeared in the 200th episode of the Simpsons, were you familiar with U2 before this/did their Simpsons appearance have a big impact on how you thought of them?

Probably saw that episode
Don't think it made much of an impact
RHCP did it better

U2 were at a pretty low ebb when that Simpsons episode aired, though; Pop was tanking, and the ABC-TV special promoting the tour was the lowest-rated non-news show in the history of US television.

Agree, but also wanted to see how much of this ubiquitous cultural presence I have managed to miss
Like I also don't really know the Beatles
Have downloaded their discography at least 3 times
But never made it past the first two albums
And I know the first two were not the ones that everybody else rates
But even then I know some of the classics
Like "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" or "Come all over me"
U2, otoh, it looks like the only one I /really/ know is Beautiful Day

If you are determined to go through the Beatles in some kind of chronological order, probably start with Rubber Soul.

It's the first one where sequencing seems to be much more than an afterthought.

Last Night On Earth - Nope
I Will Follow - Nope, but this song reminds me of OP's The Riverland
Bad - Nope.. Having listened to a few U2 songs by now this, I feel like this kind of shouty and ponderous U2 is probably what they're like on all their new stuff
The Refugee - Nope, sounds pretty funky though, I like this
Seconds - Nope, what's this drummer banging on, I feel like he's got a big kit though
Two Hearts Beat As One - Nope, but is this song the source of all the "Two Butts Beating As One" jokes? Isn't there a Kylie Minogue song called this? I like this though, it's the jangly indie U2 from upthread
Cop Killer - Not actually a U2 song, apparently actually by Body Count, good song though
I Threw A Brick Through A Window - Nope, I like this song though, did U2 start as rebellious punks?
Gloria - Nope, starting to figure out what the cuts from this album remind me of - the Cure! Which is probably why DJP is making me listen to all the songs from this album
Stories For Boys - Nope, but this is good, the shouty parts remind me of early the Offspring
Sweetest Thing - Nope
Suicide Blonde - Not actually by U2, actually by INXS, I guess the joke is that this kinda sounds like U2?
Vertigo - Think I already listened to this
Just A Friend - Not actually by U2 unless you trust this website, actually by Biz Markie, I love this song unreservedly
I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson - Not actually by U2, actually by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, great song
It's Raining Men - Not actually by U2, actually by the Weather Girls, did this group have any other hits?
Afternoon Delight - Not actually by U2, actually by the Starland Vocal Band, I either know this song from PCU or from Arrested Development or both

Not actually by U2, I think Prince v. U2 is a really easy decision though?

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.

irish culture has been babelfished and spat out onto our shores as the likes of 'boondock saints' and such.
