It was a strange album to start with, that's for sure.

Having now given every U2 album a good listen, I actually think I like HTDAAB more than ATYCLB... The first 4 or 5 songs of the latter are great, but after that it becomes a bit of a snooze-fest. HTDAAB, however, is a lot more consistent in my opinion. It may not have any truly 'classic' U2 songs (COBL and SYCMIOYO being the exceptions) but most of the songs are at least a bit catchy or memorable, which can't be said for much of ATYCLB.

Vertigo is pure awesomeness, and the album isn't their best, but better than NLOTH for me.

ColdplayKen · 26-04-2012, 09:23 PM

ATYCanLB is pretty boring. but has some great songs like Kite, Peace on Earth, Beautiful Day, Elevation and New York

but it also has Stuck and In A Little While which makes those other songs worthless. my 2 least favorite U2 songs

HTDAAB is decent. it has my 5th favorite U2 song A Man and A Woman which is amazinly underrated. but also has classics like COBL, Sometimes, Love and Peace or Else, Original of the Species and Vertigo

but then it has All Because of You so eh

I really love No Line. Stand Up Comedy and Breathe are the two best on the album IMO. but MOS, Magnificent, NLOTH, Crazy, Cedars and Fez are all great

Boots is ok. but White as Snow is pretty bad

James. · 26-04-2012, 09:47 PM

I like No Line as well

My favourites from it are NLOTH, Magnificent and Unknown Caller.

I think now I've made my mind up about each one I would rank the albums in this order:

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

At least I think that's right

ColdplayKen · 26-04-2012, 11:45 PM

I've done this to many times and it's changed a lot over time but at it's latest

1. AB
2. TJT
3. October
4. Pop
5. TUF
6. War
7. Zooropa
8. NLOTH
9. HTDAAB
10. Boy
11. R&H
12. ATYCLB

and here's a top 25 song list I made a few weeks ago
1. Bad
2. The Fly
3. Out of Control
4. Streets
5. A Man and A Woman
6. A Sort of Homecoming
7. Wild Horses
8. Red Hilll Mining Town
9. Last Night on Earth
10. With A Shout
11. Tomorrow
12. Zooropa
13. HMTMKMKM
14. Miami
15. Drowning Man
16. Kite
17. Mofo
18. One
19. Breathe
20. Miracle Drug
21. WOWY
22. Mercy
23. Red Light
24. EBTTRT
25. One Tree Hill

Prospector · 26-04-2012, 11:56 PM

Ok, the rest is too hard, but this would be my Top 5:

1. Achtung Baby
2. The Joshua Tree
3. How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb
4. Zooropa
5. All That You Can't Leave Behind

Hey there U2 fans!

Don't forget to take the U2 Fan Survey!

It's lots of fun and sometimes hard to answer.

Just keep in mind it will take you between 20-25 minutes to complete...and you have to do it in one sitting.

Coldplay number one "if you had to listen to one other artist" artist on fan survey aside from "someone else"

I LOOOOOOVE TUF. Bad, ASOH, Pride, TUF. what more do you want

ColdplayKen · 22-05-2012, 10:39 PM

http://u2valencia.com/MOS/index.php?...=3145&Itemid=2

possible new songs

Are these definitely real? Bono's voice sounds a bit... I dunno, sort of like someone trying to sound like Bono. Those possible song titles sound interesting though.

James. · 22-05-2012, 11:14 PM

Also the U22 final track order has been announced:

1. Even Better Than The Real Thing
2. The Fly
3. Mysterious Ways
4. Magnificent
5. Until The End Of The World
6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
7. Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
8. One Tree Hill
9. Beautiful Day
10. Elevation
11. Bad
12. All I Want Is You/Love Rescue Me
13. The Unforgettable Fire
14. Zooropa
15. City Of Blinding Lights
16. MLK/Walk On
17. One
18. Where The Streets Have No Name
19. Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
20. With Or Without You
21. Moment Of Surrender
22. Out Of Control

Source

Personally I would have swapped around Magnificent and UTEOTW so that all the AB songs could be together but other than that it's perfect! Too bad I don't actually have a U2.com subscription
