Achtung Baby is the only album you need by U2? Scandalous! It's taken me a long time to warm up to it, actually. In some ways, the ep Under A Blood Red Sky might be everything one needs by U2. I've grown to prefer The Unforgettable Fire...if I substitute the live versions on Wide Awake In America for A Sort of Homecoming and Bad. Yes, the second side of The Joshua Tree isn't as strong and War has a brief weak moment or two. But they're still seminal albums for me and I'm the nut who really loves Rattle and Hum. Sigh, but maybe you're right. Their reinvention with Achtung Baby may be their BEST album. I just don't think it tells enough of their story.
