the only reason i wrote what i did about it, is cause i figured some brainwashed fan would write it just to be cool and different.


Well, I wouldn't put it in my top ten albums, but there are a few people here who probably would. And I just don't get how you could call it a joke, I think the worst you could possibly say about it is that it's just more of the same and less interesting than Boy...which I would totally disagree with, by the way. But some people don't get how anyone couldn't like Zooropa or Pop, so I guess :slant:
 
A current pick in no particular order, except:

PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love,

which -is- my favourite album of all time.

U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Nick Cave & Bad Seeds - Let Love In
U2 - Boy
Bjork - Post
Deep Purple - Machinehead
Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrin
Mr Bungle - California

...and I like October, even though I'd agree that it's very flawed.
