First 4.

I consider Boy and SOI to be two of their best albums ever, but October and NLOTH to be two of their worst.
At gunpoint, I couldn't lose Bad, ASOH, all of Boy, etc. so I'd remove the last four.

I’ll go further and say I’d rather lose the last FIVE albums than give up the first four.

I give you the last 5 albums just to keep Boy.

Because of this thread I just listened to the last 3 albums in a row and I'm glad this whole question is just hypothetical.. really great albums.. No Line On The Horizon already gives you a bit of nostalgic feeling..

That's just a shitty choice to make someone have to make... that said, if it were a life or death matter - I can't live without Boy or October...

If we're talking a true deletion, as in they'd never happened, I'd say scrap the last four and see what the next four bring. IMO SOE would have been a different if it had been released earlier (say Nov 2016) or later (say Nov 2018) but that's a whole other thread. It's honestly not grown on me. If we're talking deleted from just our own memories, then scrap the first four b/c when I discovered U2, the best part was the back catalogue that I got to dive into. I'd love to have that a
gain.

I agree. I feel that NLOTH is better as an album than as individual songs. SOE is perhaps the opposite. Some okay songs, but hey I guess it hasn't hit me yet (my Canadian friends will get that reference).

You mean you don't want to hear ~~Get Out Of Your Own Way 1.0~~ Beautiful Day again?

I don't think I could stand not having Boy and TUF.
I'd get rid of the last 4, though I do love No Line.
