Everyones Top 11 U2 Studio Albums

[04072511]

From reading these threads its quite obvious that everyone hasa different opinion on which albums are good and which are bad and no too people have the same exact opinion (which is a good thing). I just though it would be cool if everyone listed their favourite U2 STUDIO albums from favourite to least favourite and see how it compares to everyone else.

My Order of Preference is:

1) The Joshua Tree
2) Achtung Baby
3) War
4) Rattle And Hum
5) All That You Can't Leave Behind
6) How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
7) The Unforgettable Fire
8) Boy
9) Zooropa
10) October
11) Pop

However I like every album, and the bottom 2 are the only ones i dont consider classics.

This is the wrong forum, it should be EYKIW.

But here we go:

1) The Joshua Tree
2) Achtung Baby
3) Boy
4) How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
5) The Unforgettable Fire
6) Rattle and Hum
7) War
8) Pop
9) Zooropa
10) All That You Can't Leave Behind

And I don't own October, and won't rate it till I've given it a listen.

 

[God Part III]

1. Zooropa
2. Achtung Baby
3. The Joshua Tree
4. Boy
5. Pop
6. All That You Can't Leave Behind
7. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
8. The Unforgettable Fire
9. War
10. Rattle and Hum
11. October

Differs a lot from yours I see

 

[FullonEdge2]

After years now of altering my own list, I think I've finally come to this as my definitive list of favorite U2 albums:

1. Achtung Baby
2. The Unforgettable Fire
3. Pop
4. All That You Can't Leave Behind
5. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
6. The Joshua Tree
7. Zooropa
8. War
9. Boy
10. October
11. Rattle and Hum

The only one of these that I would consider weak is Rattle and Hum, but even that album has some great songs.

1. Achtung Baby/Pop
2. HTDAAB
3. Zooropa
4. Joshua Tree

I prefer different albums for different moods though....

Precisely! That's why I have decided not to participate in this ranking business unless it gets really tempting. I think I can enjoy any of their albums at any given time depending on my mood.
