i suppose this is a rather trite "avant garde" response,

but you know, some people wouldn't hear otherwise

> negativland

not only amusing samples, but when listened to in entirety, quite an impressive treatise on, gee... i guess, maturity... of course, being negativland, it requires "engineer's attention" and real presence to appreciate. "subtle and quirky". as far as the "art" of recording goes, real meat.

Zooropa.
Dreamy production by Brian Eno and Flood, laid back lyrics and mellow harmonies, and a great track with Johnny Cash too.
It was weird, it was pretentious (some flowery bollocks about a global media project) and it lacks all the bite and hard-hitting relevance of their earlier albums.
But it's my favourite because I played it non-stop on my Majorcan summer holiday as a 15 year old; booze, sunshine and teenage fun included.

This is a trick question, isn't it?

Why is it always a trick question when asked about fav albums?

It is of course mandatory to pretend you never liked them at all.

Of course I think they're shite. Who doesn't?

The Unforgettable Fire, superb album.

Maybe it is down to Bono?

The Edge, LM Jr and Clayton, those guys are cool

Well, he is a bit of a prat,. But he's a rock star, they're supposed to be.

DJ Shadow sampling U2 (Lost & Found) applauded LM Jr for being so on time that there was no need for time strech of any kind to make the sample sit in the mix.

The Paranoid Numanoid would probably suspect U2 employed a drum machine back then, but the real Numanoid says no way

It's "October" but I like so many.

"War" probably had the most impact, but "sunday bloody sunday" is kinda still in that "JFC I've heard it so many times I dunno I want to hear it anymore"

I'm a big fan of Negativland. Own the U2 CD. Seen them perform it live in concert.

But I still voted for The Unforgettable Fire.

After October, TUF is also my fav

Never a massive fan though had friends who played them non-stop so I guess they seeped in eventually...

Kind of shallow but: Best of 1980–1990 - I can't deny it's a great collection of tunes.

Then, being a predictable mofo, TUF and the Passengers album, cos, y'know, Eno.

I bought The Joshua Tree on the same day that my parents bought me this "Miami Vice" faux image
