Various polls on Interference throughout the years, including one that I've just conducted (Albums You Meet In U2 Heaven), have nearly always determined that U2's triumvirate of masterpiece albums seems to be Achtung Baby, Joshua Tree & The Unforgettable Fire.
Via a new polling system, we have also determined that No Line On The Horizon and POP are the band's fourth and fifth best albums, respectively.
Now, let's determine the correct ranking for the rest of the band's catalog. Officially.
Simply post the next three greatest studio albums that you feel U2 has delivered, in order of quality. The album that attains 50% of the ranked-choice voting will be declared the band's fifth greatest album.
(For those that don't know, ranked-choice voting is where we'll count all of the first place votes to begin with. If no album exceeded fifty percent of the first place votes, then we eliminate the lowest vote getting album for first place and count those user's second place votes and so-forth. Eventually, one album will have to be the remaining #1 pick for a majority of voters.)
The remaining albums:
Boy
October
War
Rattle & Hum
Zooropa
Original Soundtracks I
All That You Can't Leave Behind
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb

I thought it would waltz into the Top 5 without breaking sweat. If it ends up finishing below HTDAAB, my head will explode in disbelief! Anyway, here's my three
Boots. Still love that song.
Though the "sexy boots" lyric does make me cringe. So glad they changed that live.
