U2 Albums Tournament Round 1: Part One

[BigMacPhisto]

Simply put, this is a 12 album NCAA style bracket tournament to find out which U2 Album is the best. Albums were given rankings in advance based on number of copies sold, with the one exception being ATYCLB, which was given a higher ranking due to it's popularity among fans.


The first part of the first round happens to be U2's most popular album versus their least popular. It's up to you to choose the victor.





Here's the Bracket:

(1) The Joshua Tree
vs.
(12) Pop


(6) The Unforgettable Fire
vs.
(7) Under A Blood Red Sky

(2) Achtung Baby

[Bono's shades]

1. JT
2. UF
3. AB
4. War
5. ATYCLB (I love October, but it is just too uneven compared to ATYCLB)
6. R&H (Although it breaks my heart to vote against Zooropa)

 

[wertsie]

My vote goes to POP. I know JT is supposed to be this great masterpiece and all, and while I do agree that it's good, I'm not really as into it as I feel like we're supposed to be. *shrugs*

Wait a second...Isn't October their least popular album?

 

[wertsie]

UF over UABRS...AB over Boy...War over B-sides...October over ATYCLB...Zooropa over RH

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

(3) All That You Can't Leave Behind
vs.
(10) October

meh, that's unfair

 

[Foxxern]

I'm almost sure POP has sold more copies than either Boy or October...

 

[wertsie]

I'm almost sure POP has sold more copies than either Boy or October...

Sounds right to me...

 

[SkeeK]

I'm almost sure POP has sold more copies than either Boy or October...

I'm more than almost sure.

 

[oliveu2cm]

I dont get how you can or why you'd want to compare U2 albums.

Each broke new ground at the time they were released. :idea: Each did things in music and exhibited sounds in music that had never been heard before at the time.

 

[Swan269]

sometimes upsets happen.........not here
