"Anything U2 does is Perfection, no matter how mediocre". But, I won't get more into it as this is a losing argument. Am I going to get bashed for saying this?


In a matter of SECONDS...

Oh! HAHAHAHAHA!

Ok....seriously now....


1. Achtung Baby - U2
2. King Of Fools - Delirous?
3. Pop - U2
4. Glo - Delirious?
5. Zooropa - U2
6. Urban Hymns - The Verve
7. Mezzamorphis - Delirious?
8. Sonic Praise - Sonicflood (Hey, it's 2000, that's still the 90s!)
9. Original Soundtracks 1 - Passengers
10. Ok Computer - Radiohead
11. The Bends - Radiohead

Oh! If we're including the year 2000, ATYCLB would tie with POP at No. 3...
