Isn't this where the audio was taken from for "Outside Broadcast"?

Here we are...the final rankings. 74 voters participated. Thank you everyone! How the scores were calculated: Basically, it's simply an average of the rank voters gave the album. So the lower the average, the better the score...kinda like golf. As everyone guessed, 1, 2, and 3 are no surprise...

Sorry everyone! I've been out of the interweb loop for a bit...just moved into a new house at the turn of the month and I'm just now getting back to some semblance of normalcy. I have the stats...I'll have them up in just a few minutes...

There is a little more than a week left before I close the poll. If you haven't already voted, please do!

So we're at about the halfway point. 1 and 2 are obvious...maybe even 3 as well. But positions 4 thru 12 are all over the place. I'm finding the results, so far, most interesting. Other than 1 and 2, there are no "runaway" decisions to this point. Keep voting :)

No votes since 8/4? I know it's running til the end of the month, but really?

Early update... No surprises at 1 and 2 so far...but the rest are very close to one another. This method is going to work far better than the last poll I did. But, we have quite some time before the end of the month.....

Yes, another poll. The biggest poll EVER! Or...at least this week. Seriously, though, what else are you going to do on the internet today? :D I just completed the poll in this thread, but I'm not so sure the results are clear as to where the albums really rank among fans. I'm sure AB...

While I'll agree that Pop was ahead of it's time, it never felt complete to me. I like the album, but it in my personal ranking, it's the lowest of the collection, IMO. Of course, I realize it's all a matter of personal opinion and the age of the fan, which is why I opted to take the time to...

Alright, the fans have spoken. Disclaimers: I recorded a total of 71 voters (32 voters in the <18 to 28 range, and the other 39 voters in the 29 to 45+ range). A few of you submitted an extra album in the 3rd spot and I recorded them if I felt there was no true "3rd" place distinction. So...

Does anyone make their own "mix" CD's of U2's live stuff? Does anyone even burn CD's anymore? Anyway... I took some of my favorite live moments from the various DVD/CDi's and put them to audio to burn up a disc to listen in the car. I love how this latest one I made seems pretty darn...

There are a lot of positive responses here...that's good. But I know most folks don't really "dislike" the album...they just don't rank it very high in U2's catalog of work. I rank October better than several other records...I would probly put it somewhere in the middle of the pack. Let's...

A friend of mine, who is a pretty big U2 fan, tried to convince me that the band has never, and will never, perform One Tree Hill live because it's too heartbreaking for Bono to sing. :shifty:

Quick update: AB and JT are still the far and away leaders. Only R&H and Passengers are voteless. I am going to close voting at 11:59pm on 7/31/2011. I'm guessing that I'll have a big enough sample by then to declare a winner.

Streets has always been a top 5 favorite of mine, especially live. IMO, the best "version" is from the Elevation tour. Bono's soft chanting combined with the rotating lights during the build-up is chilling. Then his run around the heart before hitting those first words is amazing. How he's...

Ah yes..."The Fly from the Bad Streets of One Tree Hill will Surrender on the 4th of July with Ultraviolet Wire In God's Country" Love that song. :D

Kick ass! Something awesome to listen to at work :applaud:

How come everyone seems so down on it? It's got some rough edges around it, sure, but overall the album is a hidden gem. There really isn’t a song there that’s not worth listening to, IMO. It’s a fantastic insight into the transition of the band as they worked to find themselves. Boy...

I'm starting to think I should have made the thread title "what is the bands 3rd best album?" :hmm:

I don't know why I never bothered to pick up War. Not having that make my collection incomplete and eBay folks ask for the dumbest prices. I wish I could kick my 18 year old self in the ass. Today it's going for anywhere in between $40 and $500 on eBay. But you try to tell your wife you...

Boy: 1. An Cat Dubh/Heart 2. Twilight October: 1. I Fall Down 2. Rejoice War: 1. Like a Song... 2. Drowning Man The Unforgettable Fire: 1. Wire 2. Unforgettable Fire The Joshua Tree: 1. Streets 2. One Tree Hill Rattle and Hum: 1. Heartland 2. All I Want Is You Achtung Baby: 1. The Fly...

Does anyone know what the 24k Gold issues of War, UF, and JT are worth these days? I have UF and JT but I never got War, unfortunately. Just wondering if I should hang on to them or find a buyer.

Interesting stuff so far. Though no real surprises... AB is leading with 29.8% of the votes, followed by JT with 23.1% No other album is close. Strangely, though, I'm surprised that no one has entered a vote for either Passengers, October, R&H, and War. I'm shocked about War more than...

I did a quick search around for something like this...so forgive me if this has been hashed over a few times (I'd be really shocked if it hasn't). Also, since I can't seem to find anything that allows me to post a poll, I guess this will have to do for now. I'm taking a bit of a survey of...
