U2 - The Unforgettable Fire

I like this album, but there is a reason why it's down here. Well, this is a good album, it doesn't catch my attention as much as the singles do. Songs like Wire, A Sort Of Homecoming, and Indian Summer Sky are all powerful songs, also MLK, and the ones that stand out to me. Elvis And America is a song that fans don't really like on the album, and I for one are one of those fans. I don't know why Bono wrote that song in the first place, but it didn't fit, it's over 6 minutes. That song just didn't make sense, but it also explains why there's a huge gap between when this album was released, compared with Joshua Tree. That's when they started to learn and sit back and go "ok we need to slow it down and write a proper album."
