Hmm. I've yet to hear Zooropa OR Pop yet, so I'll probably be holding off my vote this round, since the Unforgettable Fire doesn't seem to be in danger for the time being. Looks to be a good battle, though.

Maybe in Superman Bizarro's planet...

If I could take my vote for Pop back and vote for Zooropa, like I really wanted, I would...
Next time I'm not voting until 5 minutes before the poll closes...

I'm honestly suprised TUF is still here--I think it's their worst album. All my friends who are more casual fans can't stand that album when I put it on, but I guess it holds some sentimental value or something to some of the hard core fans.

Hopefully it will make it past the next couple of rounds too.
UF SHOULD make it to the final four. Zooropa looks set to bow out of the competition now, and objectively speaking, Pop should go next. UF was the start of an era of sonic landscapes and musical explorations, launching U2 into the masterpiece country of The Joshua Tree, while Pop is the end of the road of experimental albums. Pop ended an era and U2 left it behind; UF was the start of a legend and a crucial factor in the making of U2 as icons of music.
I'd then favour eliminating HTDAAB, though it hasn't had time to prove itself, and leaving the final three as UF (pivotal album), and JT and AB (widely recognised as masterpieces and classics). Boy should be in the final four with those three.
Then it's every album for itself.

Have you ever actually listened to this album, or do you just look for cool solos like The Fly, decided 4th Of July sounded boring, and flung your CD in the corner?
I am sure most will concur that this is at least one of U2's top five albums. If you can't appreciate the change from War to UF and the stunning sonic landscapes that fill this beautiful album, then it's your loss and wax in your ears, not mine.
