The Joshua Tree - U2 (1987) Oh dear, this is what passes for one of their better albums about 80% of this feels like the same hazy/up in the air vibe that you would hear in an insurance ad where the guy in the ad is doing some job at sea or rescuing a koala or some other bullshit. From my previous exposure to this band that seems to be their winning formula to landing 4 albums on this list somehow. The other 20% is pretty bad though, seriously what the fuck was that bit in Bullet the Blue Sky where he just starts yapping about putting your chips down and whatnot. As with most albums where I find the music too samey I will just go with the song I didn't mind the most and just discard the rest. Highlight: With or Without You
