Joshua Tree by U2
1987 | Rock
Rolling Stone's 27th greatest album of all time
Far from being a U2 fan, I don't mind admitting this album has some incredible songs on it. However, the tracklisting is all wrong, having (by far) the best 4 songs on one after the other at the start, it is then something of a slog of samey rock staples thereafter. And similarly to Behind Blue Eyes by the Who (I had only ever heard Limp Bizkit's cover), I had only heard Richard Cheese's cover of Bullet The Blue Sky and was pleasantly surprised with the original. For me, U2 went downhill rapidly after this, but this is a brilliant album.
