hickey Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 U2 makes easy to digest rock/pop music, but still has enough imagination to woo more than just mainstream music listeners. I love U2 up to and including Achtung Baby. After that they kind of suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamitekid Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 The one U2 album I really liked was War. I haven't liked from Pop on. I can understand why people like them because they appeal to everyone. Like Hickey said, they make easy to digest pop music with slightly christian overtones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Everything U2 did through up to Pop was pretty solid. They should have stopped after Pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmustbereal Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Saw them live a few weeks ago and it was a religious experience. The Edge is stunning live, and the setlist was really great (lots of old stuff, lots of new stuff). Cant wait to see them again in July. The article is pretty funny - I wonder if the author is the guy who parked my car at the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'll admit I enjoy Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Years Day, but that's about the extent of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I don't own any U2, but I think they're a good band. They've written a slew of good songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerrr Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 They're not a horrible band Zooropa was great, but I can't stand that "Beautiful Day" song and everything else they've done recently. There's definitely worse bands out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The Unforgettable Fire is amazing. It's one of my all-time favorite albums. It's also the only U2 record I like at all. I don't know how the band that made that amazing, groundbreaking piece of art also made some of the shit garbage they have pushed out over the years. It like if Fugazi put out their first record, then became Sugar Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
