That is exactly my feeling as well.

My least favs are Pop and Zooropa. I don't even own Pop as I dislike it that much. I own Zooropa but was really disappointed when it first came out.

My favs

I think U2 "periods" is exactly what is happening, I am on old-timer, my first U2 concert was in Toronto in 1983 during the War tour. I saw them again in 1984 during the UF tour. Before most people were even aware of who U2 was. I was student at the time and it was a perfect match. I was them again on the JT tour in the fall of 1987.

I even meet and spoke to Daniel Lanois in Dublin in the summer of 1991, at a concert in the park. We had a discussion about how the recording of AB was going. I saw the ZooTV tour twice that year (march & sept 1992), as they came to Toronto twice during the ZooTV tour.

I moved to Texas but did manage to keep seeing the boys on all of their tours: Popmart in the fall of '97 (IMHO their worst tour), Elevation in 2001, and Vertigo in 2005, and not the 360 tour.

So I have now seen U2 9 times over the years in 26 year. We have aged together, as Bono and Adam are only 4 years older than I am, Edge and Larry only 3 years older. We are aging together, and loving it.

Their best concerts were JT, and Elevation. However they always do put on a good show.

I can't believe that today is the 25th anniversary of the UF's release. Where does the time go.

I hear people don't like Stand Up Comedy, but the more I hear it the more I love it. It makes me smile, plus I love the beat.

standrums · 10-28-2009, 04:59 AM

Still top 3 for me are NLOTH, Zooropa and UF... those are in no particular order either...

Can't place the rest easily - definite worst is Rattle and Shite followed by October probably...

AB hovers just outside the top 3 - never a massive JT fan...great first half of the album but with a few excpetions the second half of that album is dull as dishwater.

I love War too

Top five then..

NLOTH
UF
Zooropa

(...top 3 in no particular order as I said)

Then...

AB
War

I'm not too keen on ATYCLB and HTDAAB at all with the exceptions of a couple of tracks

I know R&H gets a lot of stick around here and is not a proper album, but I absolutely love each of the 10 new songs that came out of that. And the JT to me was the high point of their career, it was just so beautiful and so removed from everything else going on at the time.

Apart from the last two, I like every one of their albums and this list was a difficult one to make. NLOTH might still make it's way up the list (I am STILL getting to know it), but I am sure it won't go higher than number three. Had to put ATYCLB pretty high because of the first six songs, I thought they were brilliant. But NLOTH has more consistent quality throughout the tracklisting.
