TUF above ATYCLB is normal imo, but AB is to low to me.

In terms of quality of course, TUF is much better than everything they put out after POP... But in terms of relevance and impact in musical history and business? We have to admit that ATYCLB has been HUGE in that. And I don't think that list of the 1000 best albums is only musically-oriented. There are tons more of factors, in which there are few U2 albums over ATYCLB...

Time for the random thought of the night (and last before going to bed) :

1993-08-08 Glasgow is a very underrated show and bootleg.

I've been a fan since 1983 and I love the 90s output more than any other era. I think there's more to taste than age.

That's true but most fans greatly prefer their 80's work than any other era.

Probably because that's when they broke the most defined ground, the landscapes.
90's U2 is just so much more sexy.

I don`t think we can put much stock in a ranking that puts MEATLOAF at number 2. The Dutch (people from the Netherlands, doing my best to be pc here - except towards Meatloaf fans) sure have a sense of humour.

I would have to disagree there. All That You Can't Leave Behind is top 3 for me.

Watching Q's top 25 of 1992 and the EBTTRT Perfecto Mix came on. I never knew there was a video for it...

Bat Out of Hell is one of the most amazing albums of the 70s, and one of the better rock albums of all time. It's a complete classic and it deserves the #2 placement on that list.

I was listening to the TUF remasterd CD and I wonder when was Disappearing Act recorded?

Amazing song!!! Would have been a great addition to the album... Don't know why it wasn't included because it's better than nearly all the songs on the album imo
