  1. Changes a bit every now and then except # 1:
    1. Achtung Baby
    2. Joshua Tree
    3. Pop
    4. War
    5. Unforgettable Fire

    If they had made a different Live Album, and saved Spanish Eyes and Sweetest Thing for Hattle And Rum as a studio only release, it would easily have been in at #4.

    If Miss Sarajevo and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Smell Me had both been on Pop...who knows...Maybe # 2?

    And Finally...if Ground Beneath, Stateless, Falling At Your Feet, Dancin Shoes, Never Let Me Go...had replaced Wild Honey and Grace...it would be somewhere in there.

    Sad...but the All That You Can't Leave Behind is an ironic title, since I feel they left behind a few great Songs (Ground, Stateless) and left behind a few potentially great songs in Falling At Your Feet, Dancin Shoes, Never Let Me Go.

    Why don't you love Achtung Baby that much? Ahaha serious question. It's got UV, Until the End of the World, Love Is Blindness, Even Better Than the Real Thing for goodness sakes!


    'Cos it's a good record - but doesn't get in my top five for that reason. Only the best ones get in there - and I'm aware there could be some debate on my choices.

    Plus I don't like Even Better Than The Real Thing, Mysterious Ways and One. Live they're good in their time but apart from that not really.
  3. 1, ACHTUNG BABY
    2. THE JOSHUA TREE
    3. NO LINE ON THE HORIZON
    4. THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE
    5. WAR
  4. 1. Joshua Tree
    2. Achtung Baby
    3. Boy
    4. Zooropa
    5. No Line On The Horizon
  5. Let's see:
    1.AB
    2. R & H (I know i'm the only one who thinks so)
    3. JT
    4. NLOTH
    5. Pop


  6. No, I really like Rattle & Hum too. I was wondering if no one would put it in his/her top 5.
    So, my top 5:

    1. Joshua Tree
    2. Achtung Baby (because of UV, Acrobat & Love is Blindness)
    3. Rattle & Hum
    4. Boy
    5. No Line on The Horizon / October (can't choose)
  7. Achtung Baby
    Zooropa
    The Joshua Tree
    Pop
    No Line On The Horizon

    From my post above:

    Sure I didn't actually have it in my top 5, but I love it so much, I mess up the title as "Hattle And Run."

    I just think that Joshua Tree was the defining moment of their 80's work, and deserved a live album by itself. Bono messed up the lyrics on Spanish Eyes so much, they probably should have kept it in the studio, until the Studio record was released. It would have made a Great Album:

    Desire
    Hawkmoon 269
    Angel of Harlem
    The Sweetest Thing(Original Version)
    Love Rescue Me
    Van Dieman's Land
    Spanish Eyes
    When Love Come To Town
    Heartland
    God Part 2
    All I Want Is You

    That would've been a fine album.
  11. Ok, my Studio Hattle And Rum is above...for the live album:

    A Box Set Just as ambitious as Springsteen's...well even more so would've been fine...

    The Full Denver Show
    The Full Tempe Show
    The Full Paris Show
    The Full Syracuse Show

    All This: 10-12 LP Box for $79.98

    A Double LP Set with just the highlights for $14.98

    The 2009 Remaster Series could've had this on 8CD/4DVD for $ 89.99

    A Single CD of Highlights with 1 of the DVD...$14.49

    Of course, economics would make this difficult, but it is nice to dream...
    and the bootleggers would not have cashed in on all these shows...

  12. 1.The Unforgettable Fire
    2.All that you can't leave behind
    3. nop line on the horizon
    4. pop
    5. Joshua Tree
