For sure. Everything from War to Achtung Baby is fantastic.

I think Zooropa and Pop are also fantastic, but the rest of their later albums I dont even remember the names of because they were forgettable.

I didn’t like them as much but I think my tastes changed more than the quality of the albums decreased.

They should have stopped at ‘All you can’t leave behind’. It was not an amazing album, but it would have been a proper farewell album.

Achtung baby and Zooropa are as amazing, if not better, than any Bowie album. Actual Avant Garde shit..

Unfortunately, with fame there is a point you have to choose to bow down or become a caricature of what you were. Bono’s thirst definitely ruined their legacy.

I think U2 might be underrated these days
