If you shout... said:I'm a very old, very weathered 22 years...and Achtung Baby speaks to me a lot more. It's not only my favorite U2 album--it is, quite simply, (in my opinion) the greatest album in the history of recorded music, and being 22 years old, I ought to know !
U2Kitten said:I also want to add that while AB is a better whole album since there are really no songs on it I don't like as opposed to JT with 2 or 3 I don't like (Mothers, Exit and BTBS which I used to like but have come to not like) of the songs on JT I do like, I like them more than the songs I like on AB and that makes the difference. Plus a very strong attachment to the time and the era and the nostalgia (last year of high school) and the look So this is something that does not come into it for someone who wasn't around or doesn't remember those days so I guess that is partly what the original poster meant by the age thing.
