Continuing my look at 2004, first by counting down my own top ten albums of that year.
#6 – U2 – How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
U2’s eleventh studio album is the last great thing they ever did.
In the 18 years following How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, the band released three albums of diminishing quality and commercial appeal. The world’s greatest rock band became an afterthought.
But in 2004, they were still kicking ass. This album sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and won nine Grammys, including Album and Song of the Year.
