    U2's 1987 classic has narrowly beaten Guns N Roses' Appetite For Destruction to the top of a new Readers Poll in Rolling Stone Magazine.

    The album also beat the likes of Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen and AC/DC's Back In Black in the poll.

    Rolling Stone says that it was "a close race" ultimate won by Bono and co. They also admit that the Clash's London Calling made the grade by "the skin of its teeth" because even though it was released in the UK in December 1979, it appeared in the US the following month.


    Here's the top ten:

    01. U2: The Joshua Tree
    02. Guns n'Roses: Appetite for Destruction
    03. Michael Jackson: Thriller
    04. Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA
    05. Prince: Purple Rain
    06. AC/DC: Back in Black
    07. The Smiths: The Queen is Dead
    08. The Clash: London Calling
    09. The Cure: Disintegration
    10. Metallica: Master of Puppets

  2. 1. The Joshua Tree
    2. Achtung Baby
    3. All That You Can't Leave Behind
    4. War
    5. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
    6. Pop
    7. Zooropa
    8. The Unforgettable Fire
    9. Boy
    10. No Line On The Horizon
    11. Rattle And Hum

    JT and AFD are my two favourite albums of the 1980's. I would of put GNR ahead of 2 about ten years ago but now that I've mellowed out a bit, JT wins.
  6. At this point I would rank as follows, but it changes from time to time, like couple of months ago I listened only October for a week. All the albums are great. Thank god we have all these albums, still wanting more.......

    1. Actung Baby
    2. The Joshua Tree
    3. The Unforgettable Fire
    4. All That You Can't Leave Behind
    5. Rattle And Hum
    6. Pop
    7. Zooropa
    8. War
    9. No Line On The Horizon
    10. Boy
    11. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb

    Almost everything has changed (except Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree, of course)... And I don't feel ashamed


    my b4 and after would be pretty much the same, i think it shows how Zooropa and Pop are albums that need time to grow on u, and once they have, most the songs off ATYCLB and HTDAAB dunt seem to cut it anymore.
