Favorite U2 Albums - 1980's through 1990's Period (multiple choice allowed)

I don't see a U2 album topic, at least none come up in my searches.  

What are your favorites from the 80's and 90's?  Multiple choice is allowed.

Unforgettable Fire , Achtung would be two.

Because I’m a loser, I split my vote 4 ways:

War
TUF
TJT
AB

You are welcome to pick both if you'd like, I made this multiple choice so people wouldn't have to narrow it down to 1 choice.

No losers here; there are some really good albums  from this period and it makes sense to split the vote.

I also chose War as one of mine. The others you mentioned are great, I just don't listen to them anymore (which I attribute to burn-out from hearing the songs over and over).  Eventually I get un-sick of songs but it takes awhile, lol.

I'm a casual fan, I voted for War, Joshua Tree, and Rattle and Hum. I do also own Boy, October, Achtung, and All That You Cant Leave Behind, but I dont listen to them quite as much as the others.

Never owned an album or downloaded a song by them...  can't vote...

If you ever had an Itunes account there's at least ONE album you probably owned, even if you didnt ask for it

Same, the only song by them I know is the Believer cover song on Sanity Obscure. Not even kidding.

You mean you guys weren't victims of iTunes' automatic download of their free album?  

Kerrick would like them if they were more exotic, like ÜDeux.

Typically yes, though in their case I'll still pass, ever since they came out as pro-choice activists.  

^Well I wouldn't be surprised at that. But there's a reason this wasn't placed in the Christian section...anything goes if you're a secular band.

I honestly find that flabbergasting.  Here in the U.S. it is near impossible to go into a store or sports event or listen to the radio or go anywhere else where they have not been playing U2 music for the past 4+ decades.  My guess is that you probably heard the songs but don't know who it is.

Possible. I don‘t listen to the radio.

The Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree are the only albums I fully listened through…so, I can’t comment on the others. I like both those albums equally.
When iTunes corrupted my library with U2 I was put off by it. I never fully got into them since. They are just ok to me… I think they are very overrated.

If you like those, definitely check out Boy and War.

I will definitely check them out….I never really sat down and fully listened to those early albums. I just heard the singles like New Years Day & Sunday Bloody Sunday.
