Say what you want about them now. But they were one of the greatest bands in the late 80’s to early 90,s
I lost interest around the Zooropa time but All That You Can’t Leave Behind in 2000 was an amazing album.
If you appreciate good music then you know U2 is a great band

I remember going and buying the album. Saw them in Houston that tour. One of best concerts I've seen.

Really doesn't hold up. Boring album. I would pick The Unforgettable Fire for their best work. They are such douche bags now. Can't stand them. One of the funniest moments in rock history is Apple forcing their new single on everyone and the firestorm of backlash a free single caused.

U2 blows

Not a studio album, but Live:Under A Blood Red Sky is U2's best album.

U2 has become quite the punching bag in recent years, for some reasons that I can understand. Despite any of that, the 1-2 punch of The Unforgettable Fire + The Joshua Tree will always be a favorite of mine.

Man, that album had a gigantic impact on me. It came out on my 16th birthday. Before that, I was all about pop music and the Top 40. That got me interested in classic rock, college radio.

I wouldn’t cross the street to see them now, they should have gone to the house long ago, but Unforgettable Fire and this album are stupendous. The opening three songs on this album IMO are on the short list for best set of kickoff tracks on any album, ever.

I'll agree it was a good year, but 1983 and 86 beat 87 for me.

I don't really like Bono much, but Joshua Tree is one of the great albums of all time.

If I had to pick a favorite song from these tools it would be "Where the Streets Have No Name"

Every single year from 1966 to 1975 was better than 1987 or 1991.

U2 gets deserved hate but Joshua Tree is an amazing album.
Where the Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, and With or Without You is the best opening 1-2-3 punch of an album of all time, and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Ok.
I completely understand the disdain for U2 from late 90s, forward, but they were as solid a group as there was in the 80s. Unforgettable Fire is great and possibly has there best single, but overall it can be a bit scattered and unfocused, which Joshua Tree was not. Boring? I'm not sure I can name a better overall album start to finish, although I can name a few on the same level. They're assholes, but give them their due.
