U2, Joshua Tree vs Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour - #AlbumFight between U2's masterpiece, Joshua Tree against the Beatles hit-laden monster Magical Mystery Tour.
Joshua Tree is U2's album that changed things for them. It made them the band of the 80's, 90's and 00's. The 11 track beast matches up against the Beatles, who are the fucking Beatles, in a battle of two legendary bands at their very best.
With songs like Strawberry Fields Forever, I Am the Walrus and Penny Lane, Magical Mystery Tour is packed full of tracks fans refer to as their #1 favorite.
