thanks jaline
It's funny how people get all uptight when you question their taste in music, as if you're insulting them personally.
I'm used to people not sharing my taste in music as I mainly listen to Jazz. I'm fine with anyone saying that Chick Corea or John Coltrane sucks, as long as they've listen to them first. I have heard a lot of U2 and so feel that I'm entitled to my opinion!

Chick Corea or John Coltrane suck.
They totally suck.
They suck really bad.

I've seen so many concerts, so many different genres and styles, from small clubs to giant football stadiums since about 1991. Pearl Jam to G'n'R to Pink Floyd to Radiohead to Sigur Ros even AC/DC, and I have come to one conclution:
Nobody that I've seen can touch U2 live.
Disclaimer: Pink Floyd was close. I haven't seen Massive Attack and Arcade Fire yet, I hear they play a mean show.

"Pearl Jam to G'n'R to Pink Floyd to Radiohead to Sigur Ros even AC/DC"
Oooh, so many genres of music there! the whole spectrum
:o)
remimds me of an alan partridge quote:
"I like a wide range of music, from phil collins at one end of the spectrum, all the way to chris rea at the other"

U2 kidnapped me and made me rock out till I spewed up on myslef and those around me.

oi, veryone...not arguing peoples taste here, I like what I like, and you like what you like. still love you all.
Back to the subject: why are U2 the biggest rock band today?
Please dont get touchy!

Marsupials survived and evolved and grew in australia because there were no predators.

they went Amwrican at the right time and capitalised on the big stadium rock thing in doing so, thus shifting plentiful units in the USA, then re-invented themselves and became the light show and video kings, then sat back and coasted all the way to super rich retirement.
Seriously the Joshua tree and the one after that are totaly engineered to break America (no slagging intended) and they did it very well, hence they are fucking HUGE.

You name them I've probably seen them Baskerville. You want punk, I've seen 12 inches of blood, I've seen GWAR, I've seen the Roots. I've seen The Flaming Lips and Beck. If they've made it to Canada on the Northern US, I've seen them. Don't dismiss what I'm saying just because it may not be what you want to hear.

or maybe they managed to run from all the predators, so far that no one could catch them!
