Some of the stuff on MOP was better, I'll grant you that, but none of it ever got close to Bono's better work, especially Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby. I love Achtung Baby. I think that is my favorite album of all time. I can listen to every single song. Every single one. And I am picky, as we all know...

Oh, don't think I meant that Stapp's best work is as good as Bono's on classic albums like Joshua Tree and Achtung baby. No way is it because Bono is a legend....Stapp isn't. Bono has consistently been really good, lyrically, on all the U2 albums while Stapp has....well, he hasn't been great since Human Clay. But all I meant was that, in a lot of respects, when I listen to Stapp's lyrics(on MOP, mainly) I am reminded a lot of Bono and some of the things he writes about. I can see the parallels between the two.

As for Achtung, ah, I love a lot of the songs on there(particularly "One"), but I prefer Joshua Tree, both lyrically and musically. JT just seems to be stronger(look at the top 7 tracks....just brilliant) in pretty much every way. JMO, though.
