97. U2 - The Joshua Tree (1987)


After a period of synth-rock era in the 80s, a roots rock revival was inevitable. Many roots rock albums enjoyed worldwide commercial breakthrough. Springsteen scored with Born in the U.S.A., Dire Straits with Brothers in Arm, R.E.M. with Out of Time and U2 with The Joshua Tree. Among these, The Joshua Tree's rhythmic gospel single, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", seems to has passed through the longest test of time, thus making this album timeless.
