    U2 haven't been any good for years. They are living off a very out of date reputation - Though in later years their acoustic only stuff was nearly half decent.

    Yes no yes...the bits in the middle were great but you would have to be a fan to love the earlier stuff. Some great songs mind!! The new stuff is frankly just sh*te

    They should have stopped after Actung Babby

    I think Pop and Zooropa are great albums aswell. Of course,Not a patch on Achtung Baby, but still fantastic albums nonetheless

    I've flicked on the Joshua Tree tonight for a spin the craic. It's on a record, for those who don't know these were vinyl circle things that you put on a thing called a record player. They were popular before things called compact discs. All of this of course happened years before Spotify - it wasn't around since 1987.

    I thought the consensus was that U2 are ****e?

    Personally, I really like them up to and including Pop. Everything after that was so universally dreadful that I wonder if the whole band contracted brain slugs or similar.

    I think he/she is saying that Bono is a millonaire who, instead of sitting in his swimming pool drinking cocktails tries to help people who have no food or education in impovorished counties around the world.

    Something like that. Sings aswell.

    Awful these days but jaysus, some classics back in the day. Loved them up to Zooropa.

    Anyway, dodgy video, great song from 'The Joshua Tree'



    Another cracker from same album:

    I don't think U2 have been any good for years, but you can always judge how much someone is a begrudging tosser by how much they boringly whinge about Bono.

    Not really my cup of tea. Only really like Rattle and Hum. Older skin n' blisters love 'em though. My favourite is this one turned up really loud.

    Bring back Daniel Lanois. That's where they got their signature sound.

    I think lots of bands are sh*te. However I don't feel the need to start a thread telling people that because I know that in general people couldn't give a sh*te about my opinion of Coldplay or whoever.

    Most Irish people loath them. Why all the hype about them of late?
