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

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

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

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. |

Adam lays down serious groove on the POP cd. |

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