    If I break Innocence and Experience, I'd drop them both to the 2nd tier, with SOI on top of it and SOE second.

    But I'll insist, they complete each other.

    Innocence has more interesting songs that have a little more richer sound:
    Troubles, Sleep Like a Baby Tonight, Reach Me Now, Volcano (nevermind the haters, Volcano is one of the musically more interesting songs they've made since Pop, and it's not a silly fun song either ), Cedarwood, Crystal Ballroom, Lucifer's Hands, Invisible...
    vs All We Have Left, Book of Your Heart, Love is Bigger... Blackout, There is a Light...

    On the other hand, Experience has better songs and are performed and delivered better.

  2. I think if I was objectively ranking them based on quality, I'd probably have a pretty typical ranking. Instead, here's my "What I most enjoy listening to right now" list in order of most pleasing to least if I were to put on my headphones right this instant.

    3. Boy
    4. No Line on the Horizon
    5. Pop

  3. Also as a side note, I love how high Pop and No Line are on many people's lists. I feel validated.

    I think this is a 10/10 ranking. I put Rattle and Hum lower and No Line way higher but your top 5 is my top 5.
  8. For me this list changes occasionally, and for the record I don't dislike NLOTH, I really like it, but if I must arrange the albums in order:

    Achtung Baby (This album is perfection for me.)
    Songs of Experience
    Joshua Tree
    Pop

    Zooropa
    How to dismantle an atomic bomb.
    Songs of Innocence
    War
    Boy
    All that you can't leave behind.
