Logically, shouldn't "albums you meet in U2 heaven" mean "albums that died"? If that's the case...Songs Of Ascent.

Spoiler

Seriously, however: TUF, JT, AB, Pop, ATYCLB, and NLOTH.

Didn't count Mrs. Garrison's ballot since I didn't mean for compilations to be included and that sort of ballot would work as a hindrance to the rest of the lineup.

Achtung Baby - 17 (100%)
Joshua Tree - 16 (94.1%)
Unforgettable Fire - 10 (58.8%)
Pop - 9 (52.9%)
All That You Can't Leave Behind - 6 (35.3%)
