Yeah.
My album ranking is better than the one compiled here.

I'm sure everyone thinks their ranking is better.

FWIW, here are the Rateyourmusic.com rankings, which are actually far more representative than ours because there are, minimum, 350 votes, and up to 8,000, depending on the album. They are, of course, compiled by a bunch of U2-detesting hipsters, so keep that in mind:

If these rankings were compiled by a bunch of U2-detesting hipsters, Pop and Zooropa would be much higher. As they are with the U2-detesting hipsters here.

1. Joshua Tree (3.86)
2. Achtung Baby (3.82)
3. War (3.77)
4. The Unforgettable Fire (3.69)
5. Boy (3.59)
Mwahahaha 6. Passengers (3.44)
7. Rattle and Hum (3.32)
8. Zooropa (3.29)
9. October (3.25)
10. ATYCLB (3.15)
11. Pop (2.99)
12. HTDAAB (2.87)
13. NLOTH (2.86)
Passengers being that high cracks me up, even though I'd probably only have it one slot lower. Obviously the Pop and Zooropa hate bugs the shit out of me, but they have some sanity re: War at least. Great record, should have been higher here. The Boy placement is perfect.
NLOTH in last place? Come on.
They are as follows...
1. Achtung Baby
2. The Joshua Tree
3. Zooropa
4. The Unforgettable Fire
5. Pop
6. Boy
7 (tie). No Line on the Horizon
7 (tie). War
9. Rattle and Hum
10. All That You Can't Leave Behind
11. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
12. Original Soundtracks 1
13. October
By comparison, these were the ranks generated by the last Rate the Song series:
1. Achtung Baby
2. The Joshua Tree
3. The Unforgettable Fire
4. Pop
5. Zooropa
6. Rattle and Hum
7. No Line on the Horizon
8. War
9. Boy
10. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
11. All That You Can't Leave Behind
12. Original Soundtracks 1
13. October
From the last Best Album Survivor...

2. The Joshua Tree
1. Achtung Baby
Make of that as you wish. It will probably be a few days until I can get a Best Song Survivor series going, because there are a lot of little details that I have to work out. Axver and I have been discussing significantly changing some aspects of it.

Aw man, I saw Nick had returned from his hiatus and I thought that could only mean a Pop "remaster" had been announced.

Why are you trying to hijack this thread with personal attacks? I don't think I said anything to you.
I don't recall coming into one of the (um, many) random music threads you participate in and calling you out there.
Odd.
