Yes, another poll. The biggest poll EVER! Or...at least this week.

Seriously, though, what else are you going to do on the internet today? :D

I just completed the poll in this thread, but I'm not so sure the results are clear as to where the albums really rank among fans.

I'm sure AB or JT rank 1 and 2 as per usual. But I'm also interested in the rest of them. So here it is:

RANK ALL 12 STUDIO ALBUMS, in your personal order.

I'll take your votes and average them out. It's really the only way to get a true ranking from the true fans.

I'm not going to have people include age groups this time, just because that's a lot of work. :D

So, anyway, here is my list to start:

1. JT
2. AB
3. UF
4. War
5. Boy
6. NLOTH
7. OCT
8. ATYCLB
9. HTDAAB
10. R&H
11. Zooropa
12. Pop

If you are going to participate, please give each album a clear ranking number (no "ties").

I will close the polling for the thread at 11:59pm EST on 8/31/2011. But I'll be providing little updates along the way.

Happy Polling! :applaud:

4) Pop
5) Zooropa
6) The Joshua Tree
7) Original Soundtracks 1

DISCLAIMER: This ranking reflects my personal opinion and is not necessarily representative of the opinions of anyone else; furthermore, I do not claim it to be any more correct than any other opinion. Though I would vouch for it in a debate, I admit that such a debate would be unwinnable and would serve the purpose only of allowing debaters to enlighten other debaters about their opinions, hopefully opening the minds of everyone. Even furthermore, this represents my opinion as of this moment. It is not guaranteed to represent my beliefs for any minute other than 2 August 2011 C.E. at 12:07pm Central Daylight Time. My rankings have and likely will change substantially. Even more furthermore, albums between ranks eight and eleven are close to what I'd call a wash, meaning it was very difficult to rank them; keep in mind their close proximity and the fact that their ranks may shift very quickly, and they are effectively a tie in my book. And yes, I consider Original Soundtracks 1 to be an album worth ranking in the U2 canon, even if it is labelled as Passengers in my music library. Sue me.
