To me they've always been an above average rock band choosen by genius Brian Eno to live in. Eno realized he wouldn't ever become a megastar, so he needed a host band he could produce. U2 were perfect for that. Energetic, charizmatic, and after all, tallented.
After brilliant Zooropa (prod. by Eno) they released an album as Passengers- 4 members of U2 and Brian Eno. It was interesting, but didn't work well commercially.
Just when they thought they could do without Eno, they recorded POP. Crap. They never recorded a good record since.
It's to say, they're doing pretty good for a band that released their last good album in1993.
They are amazing live - that's what keeps them on top. It's just sad to see them get all these grammys not for good music we were used to, but for Bono's political involvement.
