One of the greatest bands ever to roam the Earth: U2
After celebrating their 25-year anniversary last year, SPIN magazine made a list of what they considered the ‘125 Best Albums of the SPIN Era’ (from 1985-2010), and U2’s Achtung Baby topped that list.
To commemorate the legendary album’s 20th birthday, SPIN and Universal are getting together to give one lucky fan a special-edition vinyl box set, that includes the album itself, along with seven awesome remixes!
SPIN editorial director Charles Aaron had this to say about the famous album:
“Initially recorded at Hansa Studios, a former SS ballroom near the reopened Berlin Wall (and later completed back home in Dublin), Achtung was an effort, stoked primarily by Bono and the Edge, to ‘deconstruct’ the band and rewire it with jolts of beat-generated clutter and collage, nicked from industrial music, hip-hop, dance remixes, and the Madchester scene. U2 became the emblematic band of the alternative-rock era with Achtung Baby. Struggling to simultaneously embrace and blow up the world, they were never more inspirational.”
The contest ends December 1, 2011.
