Man what a fantastic epiphany that ended up being

Hey!!! Pop has been objectively and factually proven as the greatest album at #3 in my opinion! So shuddup!

I rather like the Joshua Tree.

Shut up, Zootles.
I'm not going to argue with you, I'm just going to say I'm right and move on.

When did you start reading right to left?

Well, unless I lost my depth perception during that particular epiphany, there are two albums next to #3. Guess I picked the wrong one.

But going to the left really only takes me into a strange blue image representing you on the internet. What you are suggesting is that i go up then hitch over to the right...not exactly NEXT to the 3 now is it?

If there's a line of people, do you say "the one next to the guy in the middle somewhere"? No. You say "Pop sucks, jerkface".

I don't know how it was compiled, and maybe my math is a bit fuzzy, but realistically Joshua Tree, Achtung, UF, Pop, War, October and Zooropa are all in the top 3.

You learn a lot when you spend your days in the darkness of space, trying to take a slice of the moon.

I once tried to take a piece of the moon, but it turned out to be made of spare ribs...and I'm really not a fan so I ended up simply turning back. But you don't want to hear my story.

Going back and looking at the original votes, it looks like the votes for Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own were not counted. Or, did I miss it on the list?

HTDAAB 10th, now that is hilarious.
Shall we revisit the arguments about after the newness would wear off, what people would think of that album?
The last time we had a big poll like this (maybe 2005) it placed 4th.
And over the last 8 years, we've had maybe a half dozen of these things.
Streets has won every one of them.
I can't speak to the 'survivor' games, I rarely participate in them.

This sample size is too small to get statistically excited over, even if it is a good bit of fun.
Plus, it asks people for their favourite songs which doesn't necessarily represent the best albums.

But:
Wonder what album Beach Sequence is on, then?
Ah don't bother Ax, he doesn't seem to want to correct things he messed up. Have I mentioned that First Time and The First Time are the same song? Oh I have? Nevermind.
don't say it too loudly or everyone will know the REAL reason for the album delay

The albums with more songs had the edge on this one. You should really divide the total points by the amount of songs on the album to truly figure out which album is liked the most.

The point was about how the newness would inevitably wear off.
And the conversations about that.
Sure, it's a statistically small sample but considering U2 haven't had an album in 4 years, the fans around this place don't necessarily represent the 'casual fan' and furthermore to take time and bother to make a list and submit it, is not the same thing as taking random polls of merely 50 Interference users.
So, the top 10 is no great surprise to anyone.
And the fact that the album in the most recent psyche of ALL these fans is the 2nd least represented says something.
Which was my only point, really. It didn't age well and it wasn't going to.
Although 3 years ago this was "the 3rd masterpiece" and people like me were called "bashers" for not swallowing the pill of this remarkably average album.

Scientist, thank you for doing this, it's been great fun!!!
Not a surprise on this forum, really. Bomb did better on the substantially bigger poll on atu2.com - and the "rank the albums" polls here.
What's funny is War placed so low and Pop placed so high.

Zooropa as an album is too low down 
It should go
Joshua Tree
Zooropa
Achtung Baby
The unforgettable fire
and the rest.....

I agree. Best songs don't make best album, even if JT and AB would come out on top anyways.
It would be fun to see how people's list change now that we've seen the results. Would you change your list to influence the result? I would
