4. The Unforgettable Fire (My favorite U2 song is Bad...)
5. Pop (My second U2 song is Please and this album is underrated)
6. Zooropa (Some really great tracks (stay,dirty day, wanderer,lemon) and some so-so tracks(Babyface,some days))
7. War (Drowning man is a realy great song)
8. Rattle and Hum (Not sure about the live/studio album. I like the studios songs)
9. Boy (Some great tracks)
10. October (Their weakest in my opinion)
 
I love rating their albums....

1. Achtung Baby [10/10] ---------- How on earth did they do it??!
2. Pop [9/10] ----------- Sooooo underrated...
3. The Joshua Tree [9/10] ------------- Love the live versions
4. The Unforgettable Fire [9/10]-------Yummi
5. Zooropa [8/10] ---------- U2 at their most daring.
6. Boy [8/10] -------------Sounds so fresh....
7. War [8/10] ---------------- So angry
8. October [7/10] -------------- A little hurried
9. Rattle And Hum [7/10] ------------ Maybe a little too much
10. ATYCLB [5/10] ----------------- U2 repeating themselves for the first time. Too "safe".

Let me throw in this caviat: A U2 album rated at a 6 is anyone else's 11 out of 10.:wink:
 
People who have enjoyed this exercise may enjoy my favorite web site (sorry, interferencers, I prefer a little broader scope than all u2 all the time), which is rateyourmusic.com. You can enter all of the albums that you own and rate and review them, and so when other people go to the site, the ratings and reviews they see are based on the total that various users have entered. It also has a very lively message board, but it's sadly lacking in U2 fans, so I could use some company! But if you are going to come and say "U2 is THE greatest band ever and you suck if you don't think so" don't bother.

1&2 are fixed, 3-8 can rotate based on how I am feeling..., always so difficult.
 
Its good too see that most of us U2 fans (not all) but most have Achtung Baby their best album. Has to be the greatest of all time. Mine in order are -

Achtung Baby 10
(never will be beaten, the coolest the band have ever been!)
Joshua Tree 9.5
Pop 9.5
(massively under-rated, and unfinished my ARSE!)
Zooropa 9
All that you can't leave behind 8.5
The Unforgettable Fire 8
Rattle & Hum 8
War 7 (hardly listen to their early work)
October 7 (hardly listen to their early work)
Boy 6 (hardly listen to their early work)

Also good to see that the true U2 fan loves Pop as well. Massively underrated and unfinished my arse.
