I'm not sure I shouldn't've ticked any U2 singles. My eye sorta passed over them like a speck of dust on my monitor. I've felt all sorts of things about them (the singles, I mean), but I ended up putting a vote for Alexander O'Neal (I bought the "Fake" 45 back in the day, I'm old skool) rather than suss out just if all my ambivalent feelings edge closer to love than like or dislike.
