There were a few songs on Joshua Tree that were very good, but I didn't like Achtung Baby at all.
My theory on those who liked AB is that it was released when they were in high school/college and U2 was at the peak of their touring career and this was their formal introduction to U2. The band found a niche that fans of several genres liked.
I was introduced to U2 when Boy was released, my soph year of high school, so I much prefer their earlier work.
