U2 doesn't have 5 crappy albums, so the worst really starts with a good album and works down from there.

Good, Not Great:
Zooropa

Middling:
HTDAAB

Has some decent tracks but overall Meh:
Pop

Not Very Good:
ATYCLB, SOE

I'm currently in the process or redoing my rankings, so sadly I don't have my bottom five yet. I'm pretty sure SOE and RAH would be there; I'll have to wait and see what the other three are when I get around to it. ;D

Mostly.  There are a couple of unnecessary clunkers like volcano and song for someone.  Volcano was a little better as something else,  i don't even recall what it was.  Song for Someone was a turd but turned into a good song in 13.  And where the hell was Crystal Ballroom and Invisible?

Those 2 songs are the weakest but in the context of the full album it works
