Re: Re: Re: What Are U2's Glory Years?
Well, I have been a fan since 1987 and I totally disagree. I place ATYCLB and HTDAAB near the top of my U2 albums list and the greatest U2 show I ever saw was in Columbus on the Elevation tour.
To often, you have groups of fans who simply can't appreciate new material and gravitate to the old, well known material, the most played on classic rock radio. Typcially, the more casual the U2 fan, the more likely you are to hear that it was "all down hill after the Joshua Tree".

I seriously doubt any real fan familiar with all U2's major work would consider the noughties to be U2's glory years. Judged against what U2's albums, concerts etc were (particuarly from 83-97), the noughties stuff just doesn't live up imo
