Song that got you hooked

That's a toughy. I am not sure that there was one song that hooked me.

When War came out, I read a review of the album, and based on the review
went to a local record shop and bought the tape. I popped it into my tape
player and heard the first beats of Sunday Bloody Sunday. I was very
impressed, but then Seconds started. That did it. I have never before or
since been captured so quickly by a band, but the raw emotion of War was
just what I was looking for at that time in my life.

The next day I went back to the record shop and bought Boy, October, some
12" singles (including one titled "U2-3"). Boy (especially I Will Follow)
made me a permanent U2-phile.
