For me I'd have to go with 1992. Some absolute cracking albums released that year.
  • REM - Automatic for the People
  • Faith No More - Angel Dust
  • Alice in Chains - Dirt
  • Screaming Trees - Sweet Oblivion
  • Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works
  • Rage Against the Machine - self-titled
  • L7 - Bricks are Heavy
  • Sonic Youth - Dirty
  • The Lemonheads - It's a Shame About Ray
  • Stone Temple Pilots - Core
  • Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun
  • Ministry - Psalm 69
  • The Cure - Wish
  • Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
  • Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction
 
This year.

Smokin' new releases and tours from Cory Wong and The Wongnotes, Fearless Flyers, Bahamas, The Bros (Canada, not that UK dreck).

You were both doing so well until you mentioned U2.

Liked Achtung Baby

Yes, it’s got some decent songs, and they purposely seemed to take themselves less seriously during that period.

I like the very early albums - Boy and (particularly) October.

It's the exemplary MOR album.

There’s actually some pretty weird songs on there: Mothers of the Disappeared and Exit, in particular. One Tree Hill is also pretty unusual.

The singles that were taken from it are in MOR territory, for sure - and are by far the worst things on the album imo.
