| Been Gathering Some U2
So today marks the day of my life when I've had the most U2 records rdownloaded. Thought I'd rank them and make something fun. | 1 | | U2 Achtung Baby
I think this one is probably my favorite by them, with the periodic exception of The
Joshua Tree. | 2 | | U2 Songs of Innocence
I'm pretty sure this one has the benefit of being newer, and so time hasn't relativized
it yet. But I've been riding my bike to uni everyday, and this one kinda makes me feel
on an epic run across town. | 3 | | U2 The Unforgettable Fire
This one marks the beginning of their work with Lanois/Eno and the more ambient
sound is marvelous. But some songs suffer from having a great ambience but not
being great songs per se. But you know, that might apply to, maybe, two songs on the
whole album, so still a great record nonetheless. | 4 | | U2 Pop
While some songs suffer from having great production but not great song value per
se, the electronic, industrial, whatever influences really have a impact on me. So far,
it's been the record that has left me intrigued the most with its crazy sounds and
samples. | 5 | | U2 No Line On The Horizon
This one is kinda average, but has some really, really, really great songs like the title
song, get on your boots and Fez/Being Born. But the ones that aren't great are kinda
mediocre. But another record with an intriguing ambient-influenced sound overall. | 6 | | U2 Zooropa
This one sounds the most boring to me so far, but it's also the one I've listened the
least. So the question remains unanswered: is it the most boring because I haven't
listened to it more times or I haven't listened to it more times because it sounds the
most boring of the bunch? | |

By the way, if anyone has any recs with a similar fusion of Pop/Rock and Industrial/Ambient/Electronic/Etc like Pop, please let me know. :) | JohnnyoftheWell
