So I have 4 Albums

[Nisse]

Get War, Under A blood Red Sky, The Unforgettable Fire & Wide Awake In America.

 

[Snowlock]

Definately Achtung Baby. Then Grab How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, then All That You Can't Leave Behind

 

[MacPhistoPT]

War and AB are essential... after that listen UF, r&H, zooropa, ATYCLB and the bomb...

 

[the tourist]

The Unforgettable Fire.

 

[XHendrix24]

Probably Achtung. Even though you'll soon find that it's the most overrated on these boards, it's definately essential if you want to call yourself a U2 fan.

 

[daygloeyes2]

You MUST get Achtung Baby. Like JT, it's a near masterpiece.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

Achtung Baby. Don't go for the Best Of's. They are great and everything... Just collect them all over time. In the end, get the Best Of's for the b-sides.

[kakvox]

Achtung Baby for obvious reasons. The Unforgettable Fire for pure sonic beauty.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Also, HTDAAB. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

 

[1stepcloser]

Achtung. best album ever. end of.

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

I would work you're way to Achtung Baby.

My route would be...

ATYCLB -> HTDAAB -> UF -> War -> Achtung Bay -> Zooropa

You can't work out Zooropa properly without hearing Achtung first.

Welcome . Let us know how you get on!

indeed

 

[liamcool]

Wow...simply, wow.

Buy War next.

 

[MandyMarie]

To hell with it, just go ahead and buy them all...

I agree with most though, Achtung is definitely essential!

my advice is to keep achtung baby for last

Why? Because with the four albums that you have by now, you probably have realized already that we are talking about the best band ever. Then you still have room to appreciate atyclb, htdaab and rattle and hum. Then you still have room to be delighted with war, zooropa and the unforgettable fire. And finally after that you will witness what you think that is impossible – to listen to an album that surpasses all of the work previously mentioned, or in other words, to listen to the master of all the albums under the name of achtung baby.

 

[Hawkmoon04]

Auchtung baby is a must!!

 

[gareth brown]

in this order-

Achtung Baby
The Unforgettable Fire
Zooropa
All That You Can't Leave Behind

pay no attention to these morons

 

[boystupidboy]

I have the definitive answer,get zooropa and 'bomb'......don't touch 'rattle and hum' with a barge pole

 

[DarkAcrobat]

Also, HTDAAB. The more I listen to it, the more I love it.

Yeah !

Don´t forget HTDAAB, absolutely packed with greatness !

i agree. because after listening to achtung baby, when i got ATYCLB i was slightly disappointed. because achtung baby is SO awesome that everything else after that is a letdown.

but...i say get zooropa after achtung...like someone mentioned earlier, you might better appreciate zooropa after listening to achtung.
