You should try again. I listen to the more recent U2 albums as much or more than

any others. While as a whole they may not be as immediately catchy, there is a depth there that has staying power. They just don't get old. Some of the best lyrics ever as well. I would say MOST of my favorite U2 songs came after Achtung Baby. While Achtung Baby and Pop (Live versions) are tied as my favorite U2 album, after that we have so many GREAT songs:

From All That You Can't Leave Behind: Beautiful Day, Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own, Walk On, Kite, In a Little While, When I look at the World, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

From Atomic Bomb: Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Original of the Species, Yahweh

From No Line: Magnificent, No Line, Unknown Caller, Moment of Surrender, etc.

Song for Someone and Iris from Songs of Innocence are classics, and the Radio/Piano Single of Every Breaking Wave is great

Songs of Experience is probably top to bottom better than any U2 album besides Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree. Nearly every song is very good with some classics like The Little Things that Give You Away and Love is Bigger Than Anything in its Way, not to mention great songs like Landlady, Red Flag Day (sounds like it came off War), Summer of Love, Lights of Home (St. Peter's String Mix), and Get Out of Your Own Way.

Songs of Experience is my most listened to album by any artist over the least 7 years.
