How would you rate Strangeways against U2's The Joshua Tree? The Cure's Disintegration? REM's Document?
This is not a debate about what band is best overall, or who you love the most, but strictly an album vs. album debate.
I'd go with Disintegration, then Joshua Tree, then Document, then Strangeways...having said that, my two favorite groups of all time are REM and The Smiths, and aside from the late 80s I don't care about U2, and these days I'd take or leave The Cure. So that rating has nothing to do with my appreciation of the bands themselves.
But, yeah, just pitting the albums against each other, that's my vote.
