The Unforgettable Fire - U2

Among their mid 80s material, U2 had some wonderfully atmospheric songs. This is a great example. In fact the entire Unforgettable Fire album really is of a piece with this.  It often gets lost in the analysis between their early punk-influenced breakthrough hits and their world-dominating Joshua Tree and later days.  For me, this was their peak.  I don't need any of the stuff after this album.  It hit me at a very inward part of my existence.  My latest conclusions about that particular time in my life are pretty damning, but at least I had this music, which was great even though I didn't really know how to be an interactive human being at the time.
