Selling England By The Pound or The Joshua Tree?
Two totally unrelated albums, one of the prog movement, one of the punk movement. Which will win? I have no idea. But Selling England is better.

Well, being an age-old (with emphasis on the age ) Genesis fan, there is no contest here.

Genesis. Everything they did from 1970 - 1981 beats the pants off anything in U2's catalog. In the 80's and 90's, it's more a toss-up!

a. it's pissing annoying sitting here at a mac, hitting quick reply, and having the last message quoted.

b. dont know either album that well; but as joshua tree doesn't feature phil collins, it gets my vote

Re: Selling England By The Pound or The Joshua Tree?
Haven't heard that Genesis album, but I REALLY REALLY love The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway and they get all my respect. Anyways, The Joshua Tree is almost a perfect album, if it wasn't for some of the final tracks that make the whole lose a bit of consistency.... The first 5 tracks are a pure messianic rock delight.

I don't seem to remember there being a category here marked "both shite" when I did this poll earlier. And none of the 4 people who think these are "both shite" seem to have qualified their choice.

Unless of course there has been some subsequent interference. And the use of the term "shite" tends to lead one to suspect certain English blokes.

Haven't heard the Genesis album, but I used to listen to Joshua Tree obsessively as an early teen, so for nostalgia reasons alone it gets my vote.
