New Year's Day by U2 (1983)

This quality tune has to be the ultimate New Year's party song! At least, it was in the eighties, but I suspect it'll be some nonsensical "grab your crotch" tune these days.

The track was the first single to be released from U2's War album and reached #10 in the UK. The subject of the song was the Polish solidarity movement. Who else loves that great bassline by Adam Clayton? 

During the 80s, the Irish rock band scored ten Top 10 singles and six hit albums in the UK. Those albums being Boy, October, War, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum. The Joshua Tree was the most successful selling 25,000,000 copies worldwide and reaching Diamond (10 x Platinum) status in the U.S. and 6 X Platinum in the UK!

The video above features U2 performing on Top Of The Pops on BBC1 in 1983.
