To me, there are 3 versions of U2.
Political/Social: October thru Joshua Tree/Rattle & Hum Electronic: Achtung Baby/Zooropa/Pop and then the last two CDs (ATYCLB and HTDAAB) which have bordered on Adult Contemporary. Here's hoping a return to the first two sounds. |

seriously, i expected so much from earthling but i was just really disappointed with it. it's just a mess imo. i can't make heads or tails of it, and that's coming from someone who thinks outside #1 is a very transparant and lovely album, lol. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

To answer just the above question, not really.
I bought that "Atomic Bomb" album but never really got into it. The only other release I own is "Achtung Baby". I just wish they had a full set with all their singles. Those two sets leave a bit to be desired (and "Singles" was just bewildering and far to current cash in). [Edited 12/10/08 12:20pm] | |

Solo, Bono has dueted with a lot of people - including Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige, and Michael Hutchence. |

guitarslinger44 said: "Earthling" was a great album and better than anything U2 put out post Achtung Baby. "All That You Can't Leave Behind" had some good songs but it was pretty pedestrian as a U2 record goes.
Achtung Baby All That You Can't Leave Behind The Unforgettable Fire Joshua Tree My U2 favorites I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

So your faves are their 3 main 90's releases? in this order... achtung, baby pop zooropa atomic bomb I skipped 'Pop', and 'Zooropa.' I think I have one song between the two albums. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

That depends on what you want or expect U2 to sound like. My roomate in the Air Force was a huge U2 fan, and he hated the albums. I was a fair weather U2 fan, so I thought they were innovative and really clever. Zooropa is one of my favorite U2 albums, and I love the contrast between that and albums like Boy or even The Joshua Tree. | |
