INXS "X"
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Deja Vu"

[scatteroflight]

actually i like all the u2 albums except october. thats just a bad album. noone can say they like that album with a straight face, with a few exceptions, as there are a couple of good songs on there.

*sigh* This comment actually makes me quite sad at how brainwashed people are into thinking October is bad. The band of course does their bit in promoting this attitude too. I'm imagining the shit that would fly if I dared to say that about Pop. By the way, I thought you hated ATYCLB too?

It's really hard for me to pick a top ten, but I'll say that these are strong choices for me. Not necessarily in order.

Sting - Soul Cages
U2 - Joshua Tree
Neil Finn - One Nil
Crowded House - Together Alone
Police - Ghost in the Machine
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Midnight Oil - 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Led Zeppelin - III
U2 - Unforgettable Fire
Radiohead - Ok Computer

Achtung Baby-U2
The Joshua Tree-U2
The Unforgettable Fire-U2

[Zoomerang96]

uh scatter, the album is a joke to me. if you like it, great.

its u2 afterall.

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.

yes brainwashed. you called me brainwashed. how so? cause i DONT like a u2 album? pychology your majoy?

and no i dont hate ATYCLB. i just dont like it. compared to almost anything out there these days, its the best thing. just coming from u2, its a major disappointment.
