  3. Guys, I have a question: how much do you like the three first albums? I'm definitely not fond of them (they are the only ones I don't have in full on my iPod actually )

    I haven't bought Boy yet. And I think October and War are decent, a few really good tunes. I'd say I listen to them about as much as I listen to ATYCLB and HTDAAB.

    There surely are great tunes on it, but to me they are the most known (I mean IWF, OOC, An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart, October, SBS, NYD, 40...). I prefer War though.

    I prefer ATYCLB and HTDAAB, they fit more with what I'm used to listening actually. The two (or three) first albums are a bit to raw for me, I guess.
  6. Ranking
    1. All That You Can't Leave Behind
    2. Achtung Baby
    3. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
    4. The Joshua Tree
    5. No Line On The Horizon
    6. Pop
    7. Zooropa
    8. The Unforgettable Fire
    9. Rattle And Hum
    10. Boy
    11. War
    12. October

    Original Soundtracks 1 would be in between Boy and War I think.


    This.

    I really like Boy with the exception of 2 songs. October is not my cup of tea, in my opinion their worst album. War has some great moments on it. The first half of the album is spectacular, but it drops. Red Light is a definite contender for the worst U2 song. The Refugee is terrible as well. The other 3 songs are decent though. Can't decide between War and Boy though.

    I think ATYCLB and HTDAAB are boring with a production sound that I don't like, that modern 'perfect' sound.

    I definitely agree with your views on War Kieran.

    Olof, I understand what you mean, although I believe I prefer overproduced to too underproduced. But there, it's just a matter of taste.

    Fabian, I would have a ranking a bit similar to you I think. I'm glad to see you're sharing my tastes as for the albums
  10. Completely different, but I just had that quote from Bono on my frontpage:

    "Distance does not decide who is your brother and who is not." - Bono

    So true, and so amazing.
  11. Something else about War is that it has one of my favourite ever U2 songs - Drowning Man. It's a real shame that wasn't played during 360 Tour.
  12. Fabian, I don't agree at all with ATYCLB at the top.

    Thibaut: Bono is god.
