[SpiralStaircase]

U2

I change my mind all the time, but I've played

Boy
Unforgettable Fire

most, I think.

As for Radiohead, I like OK Computer & Kid A just a tiny bit more than The Bends.

 

[Globo14]

Don't quote me on the order. Top 5 are probably the only certain ones.

Achtung Baby
The Joshua Tree
All That You Can't Leave Behind
The Unforgettable Fire
Rattle and Hum
No Line on the Horizon
How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
Zooropa
War
Pop
Boy
Passengers
October

 

[PhilsFan]

1. Tubthumper
2. Anarchy
3. Swingin' with Raymond

Spoiler

 

[PookaMacP]

With earnest naivety:

U2:
1. Acthung Baby
2. The Joshua Tree
3. The Unforgettable Fire
4. Pop
5. Zooropa
6. No Line On The Horizon
7. War

Not overly bothered by any of the rest. (And I could throw War off any 'favourites' list quite quickly too, if pushed.)

If we're including Passengers, though, stick it in at No. 5, ahead of 'Zooropa'.

Radiohead:
1. In Rainbows
2. Kid A
3. OK Computer
4. King of Limbs
5. Hail to the Thief
6. The Bends
7. Amnesiac

I don't think I've ever listened to Pablo Honey the whole way through. What's the point?

 

[popacrobat]

Pablo Honey is awesome. That's the point.

 

[nielsgov]

And the point of this thread is...?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

And the point of this thread is...?

I agree.

 

[LemonMelon]

U2

1. Parachutes
2. Viva La Vida
3. A Rush of Blood to the Head

Radiohead

1. Absolution
2. Origin of Symmetry

 

[cobl04]

I agree.

Radiohead > Manic Street Preachers and The Verve

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

U2

1. Parachutes
2. Viva La Vida
3. A Rush of Blood to the Head

Radiohead

1. Absolution
2. Origin of Symmetry

Okay, I like both those bands and yet I had a good laugh at that . Cute.

 

[mrphisto]

And the point of this thread is...?

Why each of us are here for individual reasons. Don't like? Don't read. Simple as.

 

[Jazzthief]

U2

1. Parachutes

Radiohead

Let the biased "Muse ripped-off Radiohead" debate begin.

also a handy note if you're a Radiohead fan who's into the supposed album conspiracies...when you play my list in that order, you'll see they're all linked together perfectly..... and yes - that means playing the joint 6th/8th albums at the same time!

 

[gareth brown]

on a serious note though I think that's the first time I've ever put Pop in a top 5! ("he's one of us now...")

just went looking for some of my old lists and at one point 6 years ago I had Pop joint last place with Rattle And Hum!! how times have changed.

What exactly is that Radiohead conspiracy again about putting various songs in a certain order? I must make that playlist.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Radiohead > Manic Street Preachers and The Verve

But you haven't listened to either of the latter two. How could you know?
