Boy vs. October

[BigMacPhisto]

This poll should be interesting as there seems to be an equal amount of supporters of each album. One of the band members (The Edge, I believe) once said that if you liked one of the albums, you didn't care much for the other. I couldn't agree more. For me, October is a shining masterpiece all the way through, while Boy is bogged down with many tracks that don't really go anywhere.

Anyway, which will it be for you? Album one or album two?

Ranking so far:

1. Achtung Baby

2. The Joshua Tree

All That You Can't Leave Behind (beat Pop in a recent poll, along with a few others)

Pop (beat Zooropa in a previous poll)

Zooropa (beat War in a previous poll)

War



Unranked albums:

The Unforgettable Fire (beat War, Zooropa, and Pop in previous polls)

Rattle and Hum (beat The B-Sides 1980-1990 in a previous poll)

Boy

October

Under A Blood Red Sky

The B-Sides 1980-1990

I love them both, but October is my second-favorite album so I had to vote for it. woo-hoo! Go, October!

 

[pinkfloyd]

I willi Follow , Out of control , Ocean .. great songs

BOY

 

[Bono's shades]

October all the way. I hardly ever listen to Boy. I Will Follow is an amazing song but the album sort of goes downhill after that. October, on the other hand, has Tomorrow, one of my favorite U2 songs ever. I also really like I Threw a Brick Through a Window, Gloria, Scarlet and October.

 

[wertsie]

Holy crap! October is beating Boy! I thought everybody hated October!

My October faves...

With a Shout
Gloria
Is That All?

But I thoroughly LOVE all the songs on the album!

 

[Out of Control]

Boy...Out of control is such a great song. Why can't I vote?..I get some message when I try to vote in a poll.

From October, I like Tomorrow, Gloria and ITABTAW, but I rarely ever listen to it.

I just October! Great album with awesome songs like October, Scarlet, With a shout, and Gloria! Just my opinion!

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

Both are great albums, but I had to go with Boy. Such great energy.

 

[wertsie]

I just October! Great album with awesome songs like October, Scarlet, With a shout, and Gloria! Just my opinion!

Another Time vs. With A Shout.......that's so hard

But I thought Boy wasn't that popular and so I voted for it!
