Is Joshua Tree the "Sgt. Pepper's" of the 80's?

Originally posted by wangmaster:to be honest, I think The Joshua Tree > Sgt. Peppers.

I never did get how Sgt. Peppers is apparently so good.

I don't think its anything special, to be honest.

Originally posted by gypsumfantastic:The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths is THE album of the 80s, and I say that as a huge U2 fan (as we all are). Album of the 90s is probably either OK Computer, Tricky's Maxinquaye or, of course, Achtung Baby. Album of the 00s so far? LCD Soundsystem, Sound Of Silver or either of The Arcade Fire's albums, Funeral or Black Mirror. Just an opinion, of course...

I cannot stand the Beatles. Sorry...The Who, Kraftwerk (who U2 got ideas from for Zooropa and Pop), Thin Lizzy...all of those bands are great - but again, tastes differ.

Do you like the Beatles?

agree on OK Computer, but don't underestimate Urban Hymns by The Verve!

OK Computer is the "Sgt Pepper..." of the 1990's; or at least the Dark Side of the Moon.

Sorry, don't agree with you...
JT is definitely the album of the 80's...(Personally I like Boy better, but nevermind )
I agree on OK Computer, but don't underestimate Urban Hymns by The Verve!
And for the 00's it must be AROBTTH by Coldplay...Clocks is one of the best songs ever (It was 6th in the Dutch top 1000 ever, 'One' was 9th...)
