Survivor - The Albums

Now that everyone (except Angie) has had the album for a month, lets see how "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" rates in the scheme of things.

Please vote by clicking in the circle next to the album you like the LEAST on the electronic poll above. Thank you.

PS When I say "albums" I mean albums - as in "lots of songs". EPs don't count according to my rules.

PPS This is a 3 day timed poll (because of the weekend)

You reckon? I cant recall which album won last time Dave ran the album Survivor.

PS Have we ran an album Survivor before? I just searched and couldnt find it. I just presumed we had.

 

[beau2ifulday]

Rattle & Hum

what's with Achtung Baby having 2 votes and Pop having none?!
I like Pop, but still... it seems wrong!

 

[The OOTS]

Yep
October!

 

[Queen Bee]

Passengers

 

[U2Kitten]

It's about time we had this poll! We may have had it once before, I forget.

 

[beli]

Kitten, I thought we had run an album poll before but I have searched and I honestly dont believe we have. How bizarre.

 

[U2DMfan]

we've done this at least twice before. Achtung finishes first, Joshua Tree finishes second, you might as well pencil it in now and just do the other 10 (including Passengers).

 

[beli]

Do you have links U2DMfan? I wouldnt mind comparing this series with previous series.

 

[martha]

I'm the one who voted for War.

I don't much like most of it, although Two Hearts is my favorite U2 song of all time always and forever.

 

[Zoocoustic]

October.

I have been a rabid U2 fan for the past 15 years, yet I can count on one hand the number of times that I've listened to October all the way through.

 

[Axver]

Achtung Baby

Wow, someone who agrees with me.

Get outta here, Achtung.

 

[madonna's child]

rattle and hum

 

[Sicy]

Aww poor October. I didnt vote for October because I love Gloria

 

[Ellay]

Have we had an EP poll yet??

 

[beli]

Have we had an EP poll yet??

How many eps have they had that everyones heard? One?

 

[D'oh!]

[beli]

LOL

We had a song survivor before the new album was released. It went on for ages.....

It didnt have the three last songs though.

As for EPs I was thinking, you could probably count Million Dollar Hotel as an EP. Sorta, kinda, maybe?

 

[U2girl]

If we are talking about studio albums, how come Under a blood red sky is included?

If live music counts, add Wide awake in America as well IMO.

Also, if this is about albums by the name U2, Passengers doesn't count.
(what about Best ofs? they're as much a part of their discography as any album)

Passengers get my vote. Too self-endulging.

Goodbye Passengers. And what's with all the October votes? Anyone listen to the album lately? It's what I think defines the "chimes & echoes" that are Edge's trademark. Just listen to Rejoice. And the song October itself is so darkly haunting. Whenever I made a mix of 80's U2, it always either opens or closes.
