It's time to make another fun, pointless post, but hey,
that's 80% of Wire!! I've come to the conclusion that
the best U2 cover is Zooropa. I think it has the tightest
theme and since I like colors, specially natural and purple.
The spaceman and the stars create an extraordinary whole.

When I wasn't a 'fan' I linked U2 immediately to that cover.
Why, I don't know because none of my friends were that big
fans back then..

Hmm.. I just had an idea, why don't I put U2's covers in order!!
Now wouldn't that be fun!! Now..
1. Zooropa
2. The Joshua Tree
   I like the visual feel of Joshua Tree. The CD cover doesn't
   make it the honor it should have. Great thing that U2
   continued the album with the singles. WOWY has a great
   cover!! The 'widescreen' effect makes it all!

3. October (Original wholecover version)
   The version with the whites on the side simply sucks,
   to say it so. I've seen a picture of this on vinyl
   with the picture filling the whole cover and it looked
   magnificient!!

4. UABRS / Rattle And Hum
   It's a tie. UABRS would likely to look great in vinyl size,
   as would RNH.

5. War
   Great theme, great picture on gatefold LP version.
   Fits well to the album and, well, couldn't get much better.

6. Achtung Baby
   Magnificient album, with magnificient package!! Though at first
   I hated the cover, but I've grown to like it. Great sleeve,
   great photos, great back cover. I'd like to get the digipack version.

7. UF
   I like the cover, but the others are better. :)
   Again the purple widescreen effect fits well.
   (MUST note here that Bad is one of U2's best songs)

7. POP
   I didn't notice this was from The Beatles until I read it!
   I don't like any of the covers, though. Could I say
   here that I don't like the video cover at all, except
   the holograms.

8. Boy (neither)
   Especially the American version is horrible!

Note I didn't include WAIA, but did UABRS for a simple reason
that WAIA sucks, while UABRS rocks :) I must say that the best
album cover of all time could be Led Zeppelin's Houses Of The Holy.
Get that album, BTW!!
