Your memory is wiped clean for one hour. Which album do you pick?

After some debate I’m going with The Unforgettable Fire mainly to hear Pride with virgin ears. It’s so powerful on a first listen. I want to feel that again. I probably heard it on the radio when I was 5 but it still had such an impact.  Some albums need multiple listens, But the big songs here deliver

“Bad” and “Asoh” are a bonus

I'd go with Zooropa. It's such a trippy ride and unlike anything else in their discography.

Thanks. 

Achtung Baby is my favorite album.  But it takes some time for your brain to unpackage and truly appreciate the greatness of the best songs.  Uteotw, The Fly. 

I think hearing an 80s warhorse for the first time is more special given the possibility.

By the way this is a poll.  I hate how Tapatalk hasn’t resolved how to allow you to vote using the app

My memory has gone and I can't remember anything of any use.  So I looked up U2 discography online and found that Boy was the first album.  So I'll start at the beginning.  It may help (?).

I voted for UF. It's not my favorite album, and it doesn't contain my favorite song. But, to hear it again as if it was the first time...yeah, it's gotta be UF. I actually surprised myself with this answer.

Achtung Baby.  I fell in love with UTEOTW the very first time I heard it.  I immediately felt the darkness.

Achtung Baby. That was the first album that I'd ever listened to in full, and I still vividly remember listening to it while my family and I were driving to Florida for vacation.

Pop, of course, comes in second place. I might like it more than Achtung Baby, but I can't recall having any memory like that attached to it.

I'm glad to see TUF getting so much love in this thread. I remember being confused by it on first listen and it took a couple years to grow on me; now it's near the top of my list. I remember it being the first U2 album that I really had to wrestle with a little bit and those often end up being the records that stick with you. :)

I remain strongly of the opinion that TUF was u2's best 80's album and pisses all over TJT.
