U2 are not the kind of band for whom I would want to own a whole heap of albums. I only have The Unforgettable Fire, which therefore got my vote.
I know The Joshua Tree will win, but I thought with this album they lost a bit of their interesting edge (pun intended). To a certain extent that returned with Achtung baby, and that would be my second choice. After Zooropa I somewhat lost interest. This was touted as U2 reinventing themselves. I'm not saying a band should not reinvent itself, but they did so in a very strange way and not one that appealed much to me.
There is probably at least one gem on every album. Even Zooropa has "Lemon".
