I was surprised to see Zooropa beat The Unforgettable Fire last week, lets see if it can keep up its winning ways against the mighty Achtung Baby.

I'd love a remaster of Zooropa and Achtung Baby and Pop for that matter.  I just don't understand their thinking.

Nice to see the Top 5 is correct, albeit in the wrong order (but no one's perfect).

Looks like Zooropa is touching it a bit. I think it's the first round with any competing votes against AB (other than TJT - can't remember if they went head to head yet).

I think the Unforgettable Fire got 5 votes against it.
