Achtung Baby VS. POP

[Man in the Zoo]

Actung Baby VS. POP

OK, I thought of this little game not to suggest that one is better than the other, it's just to compare which song you prefer track by track:

1. Zoo Station or Discotheque? DISCOTHEQUE
2. Even Better than the Real Thing or Do you Feel Loved? EBTTRT
3. One or Mofo? ONE
4. UTEOTW or If God Will Send His Angels? IGWSHA
5. Wild Horses or Staring At The Sun? WILD HORSES
6. So Cruel or Last Night On Earth? LAST NIGHT ON EARTH
7. The Fly or Gone? THE FLY
8. Mysterious Ways or Miami? MIAMI
9. Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World or Playboy Mansion? TTTYAATW
10. Ultra Violet or Velvet Dress? ULTRA VIOLET
11. Acrobat or Please? ACROBAT
12. Love is Blindness or Wake Up Deadman? WAKE UP DEADMAN

 

[FallingStar]

that's gonna lead to a fight here, i think....POP threads are always very critically seen here.....I hpoe I'm wrong...

For me:
1. Discotheque (just beacuse of the Boom Chas )
2. Do you Feel Loved
3. One
4. Until The End Of The World
5. Staring At The Sun
6. Last Night On Earth
7. The Fly
8. Mysterious Ways
9. Playboy Mansion
10. Two of my favourite songs....................but, Velvet Dress
11. Acrobat
12. Love is Blindness (#1 song of me)

I never realized it but in a song by song comparison, it seems I like Pop better than Achtung Baby...although I still think if I had to compare the whole album AB would still win as a whole

3. mofo

hmm Achtung Baby wins but not by much...It's my favourite album of all time though!

 

[AchtungJedi]

1: Zoo Station
2: EBTTRT
3: Mofo
4: Until the End of the World
5: Wild Horses
6: So Cruel
7: The Fly
8: Mysterious Ways
9: TTTYAATW
10: Ultraviolet
11: Acrobat
12: Love is Blindness

I don't even need to think about most of them, really. That applies to Mofo vs. One as well, as I vastly prefer Mofo. But mostly, I prefer Achtung Baby.

 

[Liesje]

1. Discotheque
2. Even Better Than The Real Thing
3. One
4. Until The End Of The World
5. Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
6. Last Night On Earth (LIVE from Mexico City!...)
7. so.hard. ..... Gone (a little more exciting live, I think )
8. Miami (not really *better* but I don't like Mysterious Ways)
9. Playboy Mansion (same reason as above)
10. Ultra Violet
11. Acrobat (Please is great, but Acrobat is a favorite of mine)
12. Love is Blindness (same reason as # 7/8)

overall, Achtung Baby wins by one, but the songs I didn't choose from AB are songs I really don't like, so as a whole, I'm probably more inclined to choose Pop, but I will admit that Achtung Baby is the *better* album

This is difficult to compare song by song, because they are so different in terms of tempo and context.

Result: 6 Actung Baby - 5 Pop. (1 tie)

To me I can't say one is better over the other...
