1 / 10. It makes no sense (horizon with no line? what? huh?) but I give it one point because NLOTH reminds me of Hoth which is totally badass.

I'll just a top 5:

1. Unforgettable Fire
2. Achtung Baby
3. No Line On The Horizon
4. War
5. The Joshua Tree

I really like the new title. Flows well and not too long. I enjoy HTDAAB, but the title is horrible. Way too long.

 

[digitize]

I really like it, but I'll have to hear the album first to know how well it fits.

 

[BVS]

It's one of their better titles...

As far as titles go, HTTDAAB and Achtung Baby both suck...

 

[LemonMelon]

The Joshua Tree will always be my favorite title. It fits perfectly. I can't say the same about NLOTH just yet, I'll have to hear the music first, so I'm not going to rank it.

How is Achtung Baby anything less than cheesy? It's a great album, but the title is awful.

 

[Irishteen]

Depends on how it fits in with the music but I'd say it's one of their best

Boy
The Unforgettable Fire
ATYCLB
Zooropa

Are probably my favourite titles by them so far

 

[PowerSurge]

It's one of their better titles...

As far as titles go, HTTDAAB and Achtung Baby both suck...

HA!

Achtung Baby does suck...its just been so ingrained into the U2 history that I guess it just sounds normal.

 

[trabantland]

I just hope the album cover relates to the title. Otherwise it's a miss.

 

[dan_smee]

Achtung Baby! is a fantastic title. Peolpe were getting sick of the 'too serious' U2, so how better to chop down the joshua tree?

Fits the album, the time, the style, and everything perfectly.

This.

 

[artdirector]

1. Achtung Baby
2.?

I cant remember the other albums.

^snap

 

[Aardvark747]

No-one has mentioned Original Soundtracks 1. By far the best.

 

[Rosebud]

HA!

Achtung Baby does suck...its just been so ingrained into the U2 history that I guess it just sounds normal.

This is true for so many things U2 have done.

12 How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb

 

[dan_smee]

^

why is it 12? Surely It could classed as "numbers not quoted" or Places after 11 are listed in alphabetical order?

 

[MMP]

I love No Line on the Horizon, to me it means that we can dream, that we don't need boundaries. The earth and the sky meets, there's no borderlines between them. It means that we can reach what may seem unreachable.

And there goes my ranking:
1.Achtung Baby
2.HTDAAB (this title rulz...y'all bitch waaaaay too much. LOL)
3.NLOTH (it might rise on this list depending on the connection between the songs and the title.)
4.TUF
5.Pop / Zooropa
6.Original Soundtracks 1
7.ATYCLB
8.TJT (I really would prefer The Desert Songs.)
9.UABRS
10.R&H
11.War
12.October
13.Boy

 

[dan_smee]

^ haha HTDAAB sounds like a fuckin' cookbook, or DIY guide....

 

[jacobus]

NLOTH, ATYCLB and HTDAAB

 

[BVS]

Achtung Baby! is a fantastic title. Peolpe were getting sick of the 'too serious' U2, so how better to chop down the joshua tree?

Fits the album, the time, the style, and everything perfectly.

But this isn't about how it fits the music, the time, etc... As a title alone AB sucks! It doesn't even tranlate correctly. If it was an Aerosmith album name, this board would be laughing at it...

 

[Zoots]

NLOTH, ATYCLB and HTDAAB

Maybe they should have called it JACOBUS.

 

[jacez]

i thought they were gonna called it "Man"

 

[Vlad n U 2]

1. Zooropa
2. Achtung Baby
3. Unforgettable Fire
4. No Line On The Horizon
5. All That You Can't Leave Behind.

NLOTH...

To me it sounds dark and quite bleak.

 

[lauramullen]

I love the title Achtung Baby.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Zooropa as an album title =
