I like splitting them into blocks like this, because they often sort of shift around a few places, so all the albums in a single block above could occupy any of the other places - so, for example, NLOTH could by #4, #5, or #6, depending on my mood. Songs of Innocence has cemented itself as my favourite -- I think it has been for a long time but I've been loathe to acknowledge it as #1 because of the greatness of Achtung Baby -- which in turn I regularly find my love for Pop equalling or surpassing...
Annoying thing about #s 10-13 is that they're all REALLY GOOD... It makes me sad to put any album in last place. But The Unforgettable Fire is equal to the sum of its parts, and Rattle and Hum, ATYCLB, and October are all, to me, LESSER than the sum of their parts, which is a real shame. I dislike very few of the songs on them, but as whole albums they just don't quite have the same power to me as the others do. All the higher-ranked albums are GREATER than the sum of their parts, some very much so. Its lists like this that find me wishing that Love Comes Tumbling had been on The Unforgettable Fire album or that Rattle and Hum had been a two-disc album with live tracks and studio tracks separated...
