What era is the best?

1. Boy through War

2. Unforgettable Fire through Rattle and Hum

3. Achtung Baby through Pop

4. All That You Can't Leave Behind through No Line on the Horizon

Although I know everyone thinks U2 sold out during this point, but I just love this time in their career. Them mocking themselves and "pop"ular culture. Plus, I think this is U2's era when they truly grew artistically, not unlike the Beatles changed from a pop group to an art group.

With 10 out of 12 albums listed on the overall chart, there is a great need to overcome the bandwagon hatred for U2.

Here are the top U2 albums that made the list in order of rating, high to low:

The Joshua Tree Very Happy

Achtung Baby Very Happy

War

The Unforgettable Fire Neutral

All that you can't leave behind Neutral

Boy

How to dismantle an atomic bomb Neutral

No Line on the Horizon Very Happy

Rattle & Hum Question

Zooropa

Missing only October and Pop- which I would replace for Unforgettable Fire and Rattle & Hum in a heart-beat.

Here are some other artists that have also been this solid, and well the not so consistently solid album makers:

Radiohead - 8/8 - wow!

Foo Fighters 5/7 (In Your Honor and One by One didn't make it)

Beatles - 11/12
Only Yellow Submarine sucked, and that really wasn't a real album effort.

Bob Dylan - nope 11/50- I think

David Bowie - nope 10/32

Pink Floyd - close - 10/20

Led Zeppelin - 9/15
Some very solid work, except a few albums, half of which weren't real album efforts as well.

Bruce Springstien - 9/20
Not a familiar enough to decide.

Anyways, that's enough for now.
