10 Best Rock Music Album Closers Of The 1990s

10. Love Is Blindness - Achtung Baby (U2)

U2 were riding high off the back of 1987's The Joshua Tree and hoped to capitalise on that success with a new album one year later. Sadly, that album was Rattle and Hum, and a lot of people hated it.

After taking three years out, the Irish rockers returned with their first album of the 1990s, Achtung Baby.

Inspired by the events of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany, Achtung Baby took a much darker, sombre tone than the band's previous work. Thankfully, it went down a treat with critics.

The final track on this 12-song record is Love is Blindness, which was originally intended to be performed by legendary blues singer Nina Simone. Bono decided to keep the track for himself, and its melancholy reflections on a failed relationship served as the perfect closer to this bleak album.

It may not be one of U2's best-known songs, but Love is Blindness tapped into something visceral that a lot of people could relate to.
