U2 Albums Tournament Round One: Part SIX (end of Round 1!)

BigMacPhisto · 07-15-2002, 07:35 PM

The final part of the first round is finally here! By matter of chance and album sales, the current match is Rattle and Hum vs. The B-Sides 1980-1990. Both albums aren't really studio albums, so it'll be interesting to see which comes out on top in the end.

Simply put, this is a 12 album NCAA style bracket tournament to find out which U2 Album is the best. Albums were given rankings in advance based on number of copies sold, with the one exception being ATYCLB, which was given a higher ranking due to its popularity among fans. The final info from this will be combined with other recent polls to get an overall ranking of these 12 albums.

Here's the bracket with the numbers based on album sales (with one exception) :

(1) The Joshua Tree
vs. -------------------------------W=(1)The Joshua Tree
(12) Pop

(6) Unforgettable Fire
vs. -------------------------------W=(6)The Unforgettable Fire
(7) Live UABRS
---------------------------------

(2) Achtung Baby
vs. -------------------------------W=(2) Achtung Baby
(11) Boy

(5) War
vs. -------------------------------W=(8) Zooropa
(8) Zooropa

---------------------------------

(3) ATYCLB
vs. -------------------------------W=?
(10) October

(4) Rattle and Hum
vs. -------------------------------W=?
(9) The B-Sides(1980-90)

This was a hard one because I LOVE the b-sides, but in the end my vote had to go to Rattle and Hum.
