Man, I LOVE U2. I'm not sure who these impostors are who killed off the guys and took over after POP though.
 
Their roots were rock and roll, not mediocre adult contemporary pop music for your parents.

But don't mind me, I'll just be over here, all bitter and hateful, listening to War and Achtung Baby :p
(Seriously, I'm just ragging on post-Pop U2, I get that LOTS of people love their last few albums, I'm not a fan, but hey, go nuts. Don't take my ragging to seriously)

I take it the most seriously.
 
Who really remembers the Rolling Stones last several albums. I think once most successful musicians hit 40 they lose the spark that made them great in the first place. You are now a long way from the influences that made you creative and hungry to begin with. 20 years of caviar, cocaine and Cristal makes you forget where you are from.
 
Zooropa and Pop are crap IMHO, I'll be generous and add No line on the horizon too. But How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb to me sounds like 80s U2. All that you can't leave behind not so much.
 
Reznor here as well.

Besides the slip (which is honestly not very good except for 1 or 2 songs), i can listen to everything he's made over and over and find more reasons to like it every single time.

From the raw angst of PHM and TDS to the masterpiece that is the fragile and then the sober anger that lives in Year 0. Damn, Every album is different and brilliant in his own right. Then, there are the remixes, free to use tracks, film all you want policy, free albums, free downloads.

Reznor is my god.

However, Josh Homme's work in Kyuss and QotSA made the choice way more difficult than expected.
 
Really? I think the Slip is pretty damn good. Some really great tracks on there. From the blistering 1,000,000 to the awesome Echoplex, it's just ripe with sweet tracks.

On U2: I think Pop is U2's most creative album, it was them not being afraid to push themselves a little. Everything after that, in my ever humble opinion, is just uninspired and bland. I do find that most current U2 fans don't care for pop or even Achtung Baby, and I totally get that. If people like the stuff they are currently doing Pop would be about the weirdest and worst thing ever.

Not liking Achtung Baby? That doesn't even compute to me. It's no Rattle and Hum but still!

Ghosts makes good background music while working, and the desktop wallpapers that came with it are actually what I usually use on my laptop. I really liked With Teeth. Lot of good emotion in that. Right Where it Belongs and Only are two of my favorites.

In fact, here's my iTunes as I read this post:
