It was Mysterious Ways. They played it on KLOS all the time out here in Los Angeles, even though it was a strictly classic rock station, around the time All That You Can't Leave Behind came out. I was only 11, but the song struck me as something incredible. Seven years later, it's still one of my favorites.
I actually think it was MLK for me! I remember my cousins had got hold of TUF when we were about 10, and we listened to it, MLK was the first song I really got into (didn't know what it was at the time, it just sounded so eery and atmospheric) - they then got hold of the 1990-2000 Best Of, and from then on I was hooked...The Hands That Built America, The Fly, UTEOTW and Mysterious Ways were the ones I remembered most, which would probably explain my eternal Achtung Baby fascination...
EDIT - (that said, The First Time and Electrical Storm were also ones we used to sing along to before most others... lol)

Yeah, I used to always get confused because they had all those remixes on the Best Of, and when I started getting hold of the original albums, it was like "eh? Where did that piano bit come from (on Gone)" etc. lol...and with Discotheque, there's no "bunow, bunow, bunow" on the intro...most upsetting.
