1. Where The Streets Have No Name or Beautiful Day? WTSHNN
2. Still Haven't Found... or Stuck In A Moment? STUCK IN A MOMENT...
3. WOWY or Elevation? TIE, both... sucks (not because the songs are bad, but because they were spent to the limit, over and over again they were played and listened)

5. Running To Stand Still or Kite? KITE
6. Red Hill or In A Little While? IN A LITTLE WHILE
7. In God's Country or Wild Honey? IN GOD'S COUNTRY

Joshua Tree: 7
ATYCLB: 3
Ties: 1

 

[arw]

this one was a lot harder because I like both albums for different reasons. I tried to do this one but I ended up picking all JT. I really like ATYCLB but I guess I like JT a lot more.

 

[alia612]

1. Where The Streets Have No Name or Beautiful Day? tie
2. Still Haven't Found... or Stuck In A Moment? hard... but ISHFWILF
3. WOWY or Elevation? WOWY
4. Bullet The Blue Sky or Walk On? Walk On
5. Running To Stand Still or Kite? again, hard... RTSS
6. Red Hill or In A Little While? In A Little While
7. In God's Country or Wild Honey? Wild Honey
8. TTYW or Peace On Earth? Peace On Earth
9. One Tree Hill or When I Look At The World? tie
10. Exit or New York? Exit
11. Mothers of the Disappeared or Grace? MOTD

So, that's... JT- 5, ATYCLB- 4, with 2 ties...

Not surprising since JT's my 2nd fave album after Achtung Baby.

 

[cujo]

easy.

every song off of jt blows atylb to the shitter.

In so many words... well, maybe a little less graphic.

In my opinion, the only "battle" that would be even close would be New York vs. Exit.

Both good albums... but come on.

I entirely agree with arw.

[u2popmofo]

Wow, I'll have to disagree with everyone and vote for all ATYCLB.

I honestly have never considered Joshua Tree to be all that everyone else thinks it is. I'd take every U2 album from the '90's on over every U2 album from the '80's too.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

me either popmofo, but i'm not a big fan of atyclb. if this had been any album vs. achtung baby, every single song off of achtung baby would win hands down for me.

 

[typhoon]

It's like comparing a Porsche to a Volkswagen. I found that I preferred the song from The Joshua Tree more on every count.

 

[Liesje]

1. Tie
2. I Still Haven't Found
3. With Or Without You
4. Walk On
5. this is a hard one!.... Running To Stand Still
6. In A Little While
7. In God's Country
8. Peace On Earth
9. One Tree Hill
10. New York
11. Mothers Of The Disappeared

JT = 6
ATYCLB = 4
TIE = 1

hmmm, yep, that does reflect how I generally prefer those albums, but I do feel like in these threads I tend to pick whichever song I feel in my heart is better, not always my favorite.

 

[Squishy Peanut]

1. Where The Streets Have No Name or Beautiful Day? Beautiful Day
2. Still Haven't Found... or Stuck In A Moment? Tie

9. One Tree Hill or When I Look At The World? One Tree Hill
10. Exit or New York? Exit
11. Mothers of the Disappeared or Grace? Tie

ATYCLB = 3
JT = 6
Tied = 2

Hmm I was expecting ATYCLB to get more but I love the first halves of both these albums so it's tough

 

[Man in the Zoo]

I don't get the big beef against ATYCLB, it's a great album. Some of their best songs are on it. But I guess you have to be a fan of the 'soul' music. Oh well, it sold a shit load of albums, I guess it made the U2 boys happy.

[beegee]

with or without you or elevation?
in god's country or wild honey?
exit or new york?

it's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.

 

[typhoon]

I don't get the big beef against ATYCLB, it's a great album. Some of their best songs are on it. But I guess you have to be a fan of the 'soul' music. Oh well, it sold a shit load of albums, I guess it made the U2 boys happy.

Hey, no beef. It's just that we're comparing it against the freaking Joshua Tree here. ATYCLB just isn't in the same class; very few albums are.

 

[anitram]

I think BTBS is overplayed live and I'm tired of it, so I'll go with Walk On instead.

Everything else, as per Red Ships....

1. Where The Streets Have No Name or Beautiful Day? Streets

3. WOWY or Elevation? WOWY
4. Bullet The Blue Sky or Walk On? Walk On
5. Running To Stand Still or Kite? Aaaah. This should be illegal. Can't choose. Kite if it's the album, Running to Stand Still if it's live.
6. Red Hill or In A Little While? Red Hill
7. In God's Country or Wild Honey? In God's Country
8. TTYW or Peace On Earth? Peace on Earth
