I think you already know my answer. In fact, I think anyone who knows me well doesn't even need to get me to listen to something to know exactly what I'd think about it.

ALBUMS WITH EVERY SONG HAVING ATLEAST 1 VOTE: The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby

SONG WITH THE MOST VOTES: Stay with 33

SONGS WITH 0 VOTES: The Ocean, Is That All?, Red Light, All Along the Watchtower, R&H ISHFWILF, Freedom For my People, Love Rescue Me, When Love Comes to Town, Babyface, The Playboy Mansion, Wild Honey, New York, One Step Closer

**********************************************

so, does this suggest that The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are U2's most consistently good albums? With that logic, Rattle and Hum would be the most consistently bad album. I dunno.... This is what I do on a Saturday night

POP

2 #1s!!! That right there shows how amazing Pop is!

Great job, Bebe!!!

 

[hedgehog]

When I Look At The World is one of the best on ATYCLB.

I agree, my joint favourite song (with Kite) on ATYCLB.

 

[mediaman44]

Now, how about showing some love for When I Look At The World?

That is the worst song on ATYCLB

Even though Depeche Mode isn't part of this forum, nobody really cares if we get off subject.

I saw Depeche Mode in Salt Lake 2 weeks ago. It was awesome. If you don't have Playing The Angel I would highly recommend you get it. John The Revelator, Suffer Well and All the Pain That I'm used to are phenomenal.
