My brother, who is a fan of music no one group in general, has just told me his top 10 albums of the 90's. Guess what was number 1???
ACTUNG BABY!! His words not mine
"the album blew me away, I always liked U2 but I was floored when I first listened to it. I rate an album by how much I like it years later and Achtung Baby has never lost that first time feeling. I could think I am sick of it and just try to put it on to see what I feel and I feel the same as I did the first time I heard it."
I was so happy to hear this come from my brother. I feel if a guy who likes all types of music can say the best album of the 90's was Achtung Baby, and the second Best was Nevermind and so on, then U2 has a stronger following then we think.
