Rock on! I love it when that happens. I don't hear enough U2 on the radio, period, let alone three in a row!

There's a station around here that does something called 'roll your own' every night, and you can call in to choose your three favorite songs by the particular band they're doing and they'll play them. I got to be the caller the night they did U2 and I was very happy with myself. :)

what kind of station was Mysterious Ways on? I've never heard that get any playtime on the radio whatsover. I hear Desire once and a while, and Elevation once in a while only on the local college-run station....


Todds of those 3 songs though... a lot slimmer than something like "With or Without You", "Pride", and "Still Haven't Found..." being played in proximity on the radio.

One day in 1999 I decided to tune into Virgin Radio for the first time ever... and just as I found it on the dial, they played Mysterious Ways!  I'd never heard it on the radio before that, so I was instantly hooked on that station. :D

The radio stations here on the Gold Coast, Australia used to love U2 - I always heard songs such as New Year's Day and When Love Comes To Town - but now you're really lucky if you hear anything other than Beautiful Day or Elevation on the 'modern' station or the opening three Joshua Tree tracks on 'classic' station. I've heard a few covers of One on the 'oldies' station, though ...

yes especially to hear Desire bc the other 2 are not so rare to hear!!

Wow... I don't listen to the radio terribly often, but when I do, I almost never hear U2. On the extremely rare occasion I tune in just in time for the end of Pride, One, or With or Without You. Only the end though. :(

yep I rarely listen to the radio either it's mainly my cd collection that I listen to but sometimes its have the music artist/song switch by the radio instead of having to get up and put a different cd in. yes I am lazy!!!

the classic rock station near me was doing a rock block weekend where they would play 4 in a row for one artist and i caught a u2 one, i could of died then and died happy (i don't think the other people in the car appreciated that comment though, it didn't seem to complete there life the way it completed mine, i can't imagine why)

Add another to the list of U2 songs I've heard played on the radio. KRok played Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me as a request. Not a personal favorite of mine, but at least somebody out there in my area requested U2!

wow!! I haave never hear HMTMKMKM on the radio, that's freakin awesome!!!

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't think I've ever heard that on the radio either, maybe ONCE if ever, I wish HMTMKMKM would get played more often because it's probably the most rocking U2 song there is!!

Right as I turned on my car to leave work the other day, Red Hill Mining Town came on the radio. It was a mindfuck, I thought my JT cd had mysteriously appeared in my player. Best song ever!
