It might, but let's see. It's true that we were also quite enthusiastic of NLOTH back then. (And for good cause: it is (also) a really good album, with some really fantastic songs.)

Originally posted by djrlewis:Apologies if this has been done before, but I can't see it anywhere. We all give our favourite song, album, bootleg etc. But if you had to rank all the studio albums, best to worst, how would your list go? You may have favourite songs on each album but as an overall piece things may change (eg Kite's one of my 10 favourite songs, but the album doesn't do well on my list).

My criteria were to use the 'star' setting in iTunes (ranked out of 5) for each song to then get the average for each album. My list ended up like this:-

1. Achtung Baby (4.33)
2. Joshua Tree (4.09)
3. HTDAAB (4)
4. Pop (3.75)
5. Boy (3.72)
6. The Unforgettable Fire (3.7)
7. War (3.6)
8. Zooropa (3.4)
9. Rattle & Hum (3.29)
10. ATYCLB (3.25)
11. October (2.8)
