[Achtung Zooropa]

Larry - Joshua Tree
Bono - Achtung Baby
Adam - POP
Edge - Zooropa (even though the guitar doesn't come through as much, he did do a lot of the producing, songwriting, and some singing. i think this is his strongest effort over all, even though the guitar is amazing in AB.)

Peace out and take care!

U2 is all about unity... I just can't bring myself to promote a division in the albums. *is indecisive anyway* Sorry U2girl

I was going to ask this question soon--thanks for doing it for me!

Bono--Unforgettable Fire
Edge--tough, very tough. I'll go with Achtung Baby this time.
Adam--October
Larry--October

Someone explain to me why every last person goes with Adam on POP? Although I don't like the album as a whole, I did think that the bass on Please and DYFL was pretty cool. I did recently find out that the bassline on DYFL is not original to U2--it's from whichever the group was that they thank for "inspiration" (some might say a little more than that) on that song.

In time you'll recognize that love is larger than life
And praise will come to those whose kindness leaves you without debt
And bends the shape of things that haven't happened yet

Just out of curiosity, why POP for Larry?
A lot of that record was based on loops and stuff, it wasn't really organic drumming.

 

[stagman]

Bono - Joshua Tree
Edge - Achtung Baby
Larry - War
Adam - War


Songs

Bono - ISHFWILF
Edge - UTEOTW
Larry - God Part II
Adam - Bullet The Blue Sky


Best Instrumental Moment - "That minute" near the end of Exit.
Best Singing Moment - Near the end of WGRYWH.... yeah, yeah, laugh if you like...

 

[the_dopester]

OK
I reckon (don't quote me)
Bono-Johsua Tree (awesome song writing and singing, both full blast and more restrained singing)
Larry-War (cos it rips s*** and is so damn original)
Edge-Achtung (not much doubt there. He kicked arse.)
Adam-October (I don't know why people keep saying Pop. Maybe cos it fresh in peoples minds. October was VERY bass oriented. Have a closer listen.)
anyway. Thats my 2cents worth

 

[madonna's child]

bono: lyrically- ATYCLB or JT
vocally- JT
adam: JT (but as much as i love adam, i'm really horrible at distigunish the bass line from the drums.)
edge: AB
larry: war
