Rank the Albums

It's a good album, but disappointing to know it's taped from three shows. Still doesn't mean the performances are bad - the St Gohaursen DVD isn't too bad at all, where some of the songs come from and the other Boston show where another song comes from is a pretty damned good performance too.

It's spelled St.Goarshausen. It's a small town in Germany at the river Rhine, quite some historic place. The town on the opposite riverbank is St.Goar. It's the location of the famous Loreley (or Lorelei) rock. There are also two castles called "Burg Katz" and "Burg Maus", which means Castle Cat and Castle Mouse. The whole Middle Rhine valley is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Just in case anyone cares.

I understand people are being sentimental, but come on.

Zooropa while not perfect, was a great experimental album that produced some truly innovative, standout songs
eg. Stay, Lemon, Zooropa, The Wanderer, Numb.

Boy was a debut album made by a bunch of 18 year olds with an inexperienced producer, Zooropa was made by a band at their prime with one of the all time producing greats.
