Zooropa is pretty cool too.

Ha, I was just about to comment that when I first clicked this link, I was afraid this was going to be the Achtung cover, which I really don't like.
My favourite's probably War.
why, you got something against the cow??Axver said:I was afraid this was going to be the Achtung cover, which I really don't like.

Brilliant covers such as UF, JT, Achtung, and Zooropa are there and War is your favorite?
was it adam's jacket or afro that sealed the deal for you?Axver said:October's got a good cover.
Axver said:
and I just hate the Achtung one. A mish-mashy mess in my opinion.
The Achtung cover's a mess? a mess??? its fucking imagery that suits the time and the album perfectly. Just cos you like the 80s material a lot doesn't mean you have to put down Achtung at every chance you get, you know.
LivLuvAndBootlegMusic said:My favorite cover and album concept is definitely Pop. I've devoted every inch of wallspace in my (large) room to it! My latest addition was a HUGE 4 x 6 foot poster from PopMart Buenos Aires and I honestly have nowhere left but the ceiling, so instead I sliced it into sections and wallpapered my closet doors (4 folding panels).

If it's imagery of a mish-mashy mess, then yes. Besides the fact that I don't even like half of the photographs, there's just too much of them. It's cluttered and annoying and doesn't look remotely good.
As I said, though, Zooropa's got a good cover. And Pop's is also done well. Achtung, in my opinion, is easily the worst U2 cover, followed by HTDAAB and WAIA. When I first got WAIA, I stared at it quizzically and couldn't figure out what it was - at first I thought it looked like a cat in the rain, but knew that couldn't be right. Though it seems the copy I have is less distinct than those I've found online.

omigor me too!! when that album first came out i loved that pic and thought the same thing. i'd wondered where the edge found those rings and where i could find a pair.namkcuR said:You know, I disagree with you about the AB cover, but I understand where you're coming from. I'll just say that there is, in the AB collage, one particular picture that I've always loved, and that is the picture of the hand with the jagged "U" and "2" rings on it. I wish I had a pair of those.
