I'm not a huge fan of U2, but I do enjoy some of their albums. I haven't heard much R.E.M. Perhaps my vote shouldn't count, then!

2. REM - Reckoning
3. REM - Automatic For The People
4. REM - Life's Rich Pageant
5. REM - Fables Of The Reconstruction

Bono, the man who will fight for any worthy cause, so long as it results in his face being on camera.

First three albums are all Top 50 for me.

Sorry R.E.M., but U2 is a Top 5 band in my book.

Re: 5 for 2 Week 4 (Fighting for a worthy cause)

Not easy, I don't have any album of these two artists in my top list.

1. R.E.M - Automatic for the People
2. U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind
3. R.E.M - Murmur
4. U2 - The Joshua tree
5. U2 - Achtung baby

Re: 5 for 2 Week 4 (Fighting for a worthy cause)

Oh, come on…I just did this on Monday:

1. Murmur
2. Automatic for the People
3. Lifes Rich Pageant
4. Document
5. Reckoning

(Brad, I appreciate the shout-out to Chronic Town.)

If I could have figured out a way to shoehorn in a U2 album (just as Definitely Maybe was my #5 last week), I would have…but for me, no U2 album even has an argument to be ahead of any of these five. If my list were extended, U2 would have the #6 and #7 slots.

My top five U2, in order, are Achtung Baby. Joshua Tree, Unforgettable Fire, War and Under a Blood Red Sky. I’m surprised nobody else has picked that last one…sure, it’s a live album, but it’s also the one that alerted me that they were a really good band, and it still holds up.
