[MrBrau1]

Or you could be smart and realise you have AB AND HTDAAB AND The Joshua Tree AND ATYCLB AND Pop AND ZOOROPA AND R&H AND UF AND War AND October AND Boy. Think of HTDAAB as throwing a few more bricks on a mountain of gold. All the old stuff is still there.

 

[AtomicBono]

1. Vertigo
2. Miracle Drug
3. One (it's still the greatest song ever written)
4. Until the End of the World
5. City of Blinding Lights
6. All Because of You
7. The Fly
8. Crumbs From Your Table
9. One Step Closer
10. Original of the Species
11. Ultraviolet-Acrobat-Love Is Blindness... yes, I know Ultraviolet is track 10 but I consider those three U2's godly trilogy

HTDAAB: 7 AB: 4

That sure makes HTDAAB look like the better album doesn't it? Just happens to be the placement of the tracks though... I'm not ready to call it better than AB yet, but we'll see once I've had some time with it...

With Joshua Tree...

1. Where the Streets Have No Name (if anyone put Vertigo ahead of this I think baby Jesus would cry)
2. Miracle Drug
3. With or Without You (I love Sometimes but it's hard to compare to WOWY... I need more time with it)
4. Love and Peace or Else
5. Running to Stand Still (I love COBL but I have trouble placing it above such a classic...again we'll see with more time)
6. All Because Of You
7. A Man and a Woman (I can't help it I love this song!!!)
8. Crumbs From Your Table
9. One Tree Hill
10. Exit/Original of the Species (a very dark song versus a very joyous song... they're both so effin' brilliant I can't decide...I'm leaning toward Exit but I love Original oh-so-much)
11. Yahweh

HTDAAB: 6 JT: 4 Tie: 1

Again, not ready to say HTDAAB is better than JT, but then again I prefer Pop and AB to JT so if HTDAAB squeezes in there JT might by knocked off my top three list...what a scary thought.

*If this were live Exit, it would be a tie. I adore Exit live and it's one of my favourite songs. The album version, however, is somewhat lacking.

So if you include Exit live, it's a 5/5/1 tie.
