I'm a diehard U2 fan and I aplaud you on the albums you chose from U2 for your list. Achtung Baby is my favorite U2 album, and The Joshua Tree has some amazing artistic merit to it. The band memebers commented that Achtung Baby is the sound of 4 men chopping down the Joshua Tree and that it's 12 takes on an obsession. The Joshua Tree feels a lot more raw to me, in it's sound, but i think both of them are really terrific albums. I agee though, that Achtung Baby is the better of the two. Each song on that album is completly diferent from the one before, and yet, they are all the same on some level. The underlying concept about love caries through the entire album. And all I can say to your obvious incredible knowledge of rock is...wow!
