You seem like you're into punk which sort of makes sense, but people make this statement a lot and it's so sick. Joshua Tree - Rattle & Hum - Achtung was the peak of U2 for most people. I personally love the stuff before Joshua, but it's very raw and not really that unusual or special. You could definitely get worried by Achtung.

Rattle & Hum seemed to be weak capitalization on Joshua Tree - lots of live stuff, not so much new material. But Achtung Baby was superb.

I remember a poll which showed that they were both the most popular band of the 80s AND 90s, that JT was the most popular album of the 80s, and that AB was the most popular album of the 90s. They poaned for quite a long time.

Reminds me of the Will Ferrell SNL skit.

Better Floyd than FC:

WYWH
Animals

Kill yourself.

Are you kidding me??? Yo Bum Rush The Show rocked the rap world, It Takes a Nation of Millions is one of my top ten albums of all time. Fear of A Black Planet, more brilliance. Apocolypse 91, while there were a few good songs, was the end of PE as a rap era. Everything post Apocolypse 91 is garbage. Kill yourself or defend your position.

The Joshua Tree was good but I could totally tell what direction U2 was going after that and I didn't like it.

Was it Prince that gave it away?

I'm not sure of the exact song, but when Eddie Van Halen always seemed to be playing the keyboard instead of the guitar. In retrospect "Love Comes Walking In" comes to mind.

Chicago - when Peter Cetera started dominating the band.

(Not my favorite group, but it was a pretty clear-cut sign.)
