Peterrrrr · 07-19-2008, 05:49 PM

I havent seen this poll for long, intressting to see how we vote this time.

My vote goes for AB!

Ooh, a tie so far. Too bad it won't stay that way for long.

The Joshua Tree by a mile. It has two things going for it: more cohesion and infinitely better production.

popacrobat · 07-19-2008, 06:14 PM

i don't and will never understand the obsession over production. i'm all about song quality. if it sounds slightly muddy or if it has more atmosphere or more background noises, or reduced guitar, or more ambient, or whatever, on the studio version, great. sometimes i think people here would prefer having a perfectly mixed album rather than an album full of perfect songs, which is sort of sad.

Galeongirl · 07-19-2008, 06:22 PM

AB, Even tho JT is an awesome record with great songs, it just doesn't top the atmosphere around AB for me..

Please don't make me choose.

LemonMelon · 07-19-2008, 06:42 PM

AB will always win on this forum.

JT is definitely superior IMO, but what do I know?

You clearly have misinterpreted what I mean when I say production. The entire point is that the production makes the songs worse. It makes them sound poorer, thus the songs aren't as good. They tie into each other.

i can't choose - sorry!

Zootlesque · 07-19-2008, 07:19 PM

So hard to choose between these 2 masterpieces but Achtung takes it for me. Blame early 90s nostalgia for it!

JT. It's not a contest.

It's not a contest because you, a few others, and I are like the only JT fanatics here. If the poll had restrictions to prevent lurkers from voting, AB would be winning by an even greater margin. I say this because JT is held in much higher esteem by the general public.

I don't know what it is about this forum and the Zoo-era. I'll never understand it.

corianderstem · 07-19-2008, 09:51 PM

It ain't brain surgery, dude. Some people just have a different opinion than you.

I don't understand why it has to be a big deal that more people here appear to like one over the other.
