AIGGH!

After my houseguest bailed me out on Question 4 ("Place these birthstones in order by the month they represent, starting with the earliest"), I hit the skids on Question 5. I never thought it would be my knowledge (or lack thereof) of current popular music that would bite me in the ass:

Place these albums in order of when they hit Number One, starting with the earliest:

1) Cracked Rear View
2) The Joshua Tree
3) Volume 2: Hard Knock Life
4) Speakerbox: The Love Below

Had no idea who 4 was. Outkast. I now have a new least favorite band.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, I would have had no clue where #1 fell into the picture.

EDIT: further research reveals that my 300th post was about Hootie and the Blowfish.

 You and a few American Indian groups (CBS had better be careful about their next spectacle--the Tonys).  

It was 2-1-3-4, yes?  Most of my CD collection predates "The Joshua Tree"--although I did enjoy that LP.

Doug -- and the countdown to 400 continues

 Hey ya!

Damn, I would've gotten that one too.  Instead, my dumb self bombs out on a misdial on the first question.

 That's what I'm thinking...1) 1994 or 95   2)   3) 1998   4) 2003

I know three of the albums, but who did "The Joshua Tree?"

NITPICK: Millionaire made a mistake, "Hard Knock Life" was Jay-Z's third album, so it would be "Vol. 3"

"Joshua Tree" was U2's first No. 1 album, and it hit the top in 1987.
