Some of my favorite U2 songs are on Zooropa, but overall, I find How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb to be a more consistent album, and I listen to it much more often.

I agree with that.

I absolutely love Zooropa (the song), Lemon, Stay and Dirty Day but I find HTDAAB to be a better album.
 
Maybe someone can make a poll for POP vs. Da bomb after this one.
As someone said before zooropa is a better concept album but da bomb has better songs, I agree with that.

My vote goes to da bomb.

This is tough. I would think Zooropa would come out on top just b/c of Dirty Day but then I have to consider Miracle Drug.

I find it easier to listen to Da Bomb straight through than Zooropa.
But! I believe the lack of Zooropa songs played on tour this year may be clouding my judgement. (The First Time was bad ass the first time I heard it though.)
:scream:

Moreover, chip won't be thanking be for being indecisive in his thread b/c I have not really contributed in any sort of meaningful way.
Carry on.

mmm! i'm getting a bit worried, we haven't had one this week!!
 
Zoooooropaaa....... :love:

HTDAAB is a good collection of uplifting upbeat songs that aren't held together by any common theme or concept, which is unfortunate because a theme or central idea makes any album so much more interesting IMO. Anyway, I would take 'brave and adventurous U2' any day over 'U2 being U2'!


Better thank me for this contribution, Chizip! :mad:

Then how come the Bomb just got another vote? :grumpy: :tsk: :wink:
haha!

vote for zooropa you pack of dogs.

edit - i'm actually quite appalled that [at the time of writing] "The BOMB" [sic] is winning 18-9. when the hell did you people start listening to this band?

I absolutely LOVE Zooropa. I mean, I love it. For a while I considered it to be even better than Achtung. But for whatever reason, I just can't choose it over HTDAAB. More real "rock songs" on HTDAAB I guess. :shrug:


Though my favorite song on either record is definitely Lemon. :drool:
 
can you guys stop referring to it as 'da bomb' or 'da bombdiggi...' o feck, i can't spell that shit.
it really creeps me out. i thought we were going to be in trouble when they released an album with the word 'bomb' in the title. 6 years to late.
shit.
who let tha dawgs out?!
