By 1991, U2 were a global force — and incredible to think they were only going to get bigger. With that growth through the rest of the ’90s came some concessions, musically (ahem: 1993’s Zooropa and 1997’s Pop), but Achtung Baby remains wholly authentic. Plus is includes “One”, which is probably among the 25 greatest songs of all time.
Released: November 18, 1991
