Today marks the second edition of a special series within my weekly feature, Friday on the Turntable. Instead of looking at one album, I am featuring all of U2's records from 1980 - 2009 - and ranking them! It was a mammoth task, and proved frustrating when putting albums that I love against other ones that I love. Nonetheless, I've provided a ranked list - from #12 - #1. While I did include Rattle And Hum, I left off regular live albums and EPs.
If you would like the short / textual version of the list, please scroll past the video. As always, I look forward to reading your comments and feedback. If you missed our 20 Best Lesser Known U2 Songs feature, click here after you're done enjoying this post.
Here we go...
The text/pics version is below - don't scroll down yet if you want to enjoy the video.
