U2 - War

This pick is long over due, and a dedication to my brother Stephen who is a huge U2 fan. This was a very difficult decision between War and The Joshua Tree. I love both records, but I have to go with War because I feel like this was when U2 was at the top of their game. I kind of see U2 as the Rolling Stones of my generation, they are still great in concert and every now and again they put out a great record. From the release of War in 1983 to the release of The Joshua Tree in 1987 they were unstoppable, and could do no wrong. Since then there has been some great, 1991's Achtung Baby and some not so good, 1997's Pop. Still no doubt they are one of the most important bands of the 80's and 90's and they are still relevant today.
