I went for TJT, OS1 and POP. Here’s why:TJT - maybe it’s all been played to death and that’s why, but it just sounds a bit tiredOS1 - everyone knows nothing ages more than modernityPOP - see OS1. It just sounds so ‘of its time’None of this is to say they’re bad records.
OS1 getting a lot of traction I see
Other than having a non-U2 album as an option, the biggest problem with this list is that it should have more than 3 options. I went with October, War and R&H, but NLOTH clearly has not aged well either.

Most have not aged that well, and that’s normal, IMHO.But what if we ask the reverse question? Which albums haven’t aged one bit? That’s a good measure of a standout album.I do believe Zooropa fits that bill.

AB is still stellar as well.U2 unfortunately have way too much cringe in their discography. By comparison, Pink Floyd's DSOTM sets the standard for me in terms of albums that still sound timeless.
