Your favorite U2 album?
 
Out of all of U2's albums, which is your favorite? I'm going to have to go with "No Line on the Horizon".

Joshua Tree & All That You Can't Leave behind

bertbassplayer 12-03-2012 09:12 PM

Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby are my favs. But I like pretty much everything they did with Brian Eno.

leegreenman 12-03-2012 09:16 PM

Achtung Baby. Joshua Tree is a close second.

Joshua Tree

The first three albums was excellent but my vote goes to War.

I agree but I love October.

Achtung Baby.
The one I like the least? Your favorite, I did not enjoy that album at all.

Another vote for War; the only time that I would do that, barring a direct attack by a foreign power.

xUptheIronsx 12-03-2012 10:24 PM

not to be cliche, but I would have to go with War as well...

there was a vibe they caught on that album that was not replicated ever again. Joshua Tree comes in at a close second tho

Yep - Achtung Baby is really good and Joshua Tree is legendary. All that early stuff is great too. I like the music, am sick to death of Bono

Another vote for Achtung Baby. I really liked Zooropa too.

War .....here ...

As the world was falling in love with U2 with Joshua Tree i was becoming disenchanted....they were a "real" alternative band till then ....and that was before "alternative" was actually a genre ...it was just coming along......now i enjoy lot's of Joshua Tree but at the time the only track that was true U2 for me was Bullet the Blue Sky.

I usually dig their hits to some degree ...i enjoyed much of Achtung Baby ....but ceased being a devotee years ago....

Unforgettable Fire, followed very closely by October.

Achtung Baby with War as a close 2nd. Joshua Tree is amazing, but got burnt out on it as an upper classman in high school when it came out.

Whoa, that's exactly what I was going to say. Creepy. :help:

Unforgettable Fire has so many great songs on it, but October is a bit darker, and the title track is exceptional.

No love for Under a Blood Red Sky? It's got "11 o'Clock Tick Tock" on it, with a cool bass line that sounds like a New Wave single.

rasicci 12-07-2012 02:31 PM

Unforgettable Fire... but from a bass perspective only I have to say POP.
Adam lays down serious groove on the POP cd.

obimark 12-07-2012 02:39 PM

War- for whatever reason Clayton's bass playing was better on that album. It never reached that level again.
