Most groundbreaking U2 album..

[Cooper2000]

Not necessarily your favorite, or the most listenable.. but the most innovative, fresh, new ect. album that they released.

I would have to say Joshua Tree, just because of songs like ISHFWILF and Streets and so on.

 

[tackleberry]

Achtung Baby, baby!

 

[impy13]

AB.

This really shouldn't be a contest at all.

 

[Nisse]

pop?

 

[sniggirb]

Actung Baby, never gets old.

 

[X-it 7]

Yep, Achtung Baby

 

[Roland of Gilead]

It was the UF. Everything up to that point was arena-like rock and roll (in a good way mind you!). It becomes apparent that the Eno/Lanois combination would have an incredible affect on what could be done with the U2 sound that was established with the first three studio albums.

Songs like EP&A, July 4th and MLK were a complete mind fu*k in 1984.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Most innovative / fresh album ?? ...
When U2 had to go away and "dream it all up again" ... Achtung Baby !!

 

[Irishteen]

Unforgettable Fire

 

[Zoots]

Abso-fucking-lutely no contest!!! You know which album I'm talking about!

Hint: Watch more TV.

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Unforgettable Fire and Achtung Baby. They both gave a new way to the band. Zooropa also may be considered

 

[WinnieThePoo]

Joshua Tree
it's perfect , in every way

 

[LJT]

Abso-fucking-lutely no contest!!! You know which album I'm talking about!

Hint: Watch more TV.

Taste is the enemy of art.

Unforgettable Fire

 

[bridgit]

I would say Joshua Tree because it didn't sound like anything else on the radio at the time.

 

[Niceman]

Joshua Tree and Achtung.

 

[AtomicBono]

Achtung Baby. Easily.

 

[Axver]

The Unforgettable Fire was a total revolution of the U2 sound, but did it break the most ground? For the band, I'd say yes. It really changed the direction of their career and music and was a pivotal point. But in general terms of breaking the most ground musically? I'd have to give it to Zooropa.

a bluer kind of white


easily zooropa

 

[Needle_Chill]

The Unforgettable Fire

 

[piomike]

Achtung Baby!

 

[Zoots]

Achtung Baby!

Hey... new member! Time for your Interference initiation.

 

[Flying FuManchu]

The combination of Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree. Most ground breaking sonically and creative combo of albums for U2. Achtung is my favorite but in terms of creativity outside of their sphere of all things U2.... defintely the UF/ Joshua Tree combo.

Unforgettable Fire

 

[xtihn]

either achtung or zooropa.

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Unforgettable Fire was the first. Then Achtung/Zooropa/Passengers/Pop was one by one a ground breaker.

 

[namkcuR]

I can't choose between Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop.
