2. Their last album was pretty good
It's not The Joshua Tree, but those type of albums are one in a lifetime.

5. now now
In a world that just saw the release of the new Lindsay Lohan album, I am sure that we could use a few more U2s. How To Make An Atomic Bomb is excellent, btw.

12. Have you listened to any modern rock stations lately?
There is a sea of "artists" far, far worse than U2.

13. Overblown, simplistic, moralistic, bombastic CRAP
God I loathe them. Boy was pretty good. Well, I Will Follow. After that, pure garbage.

15. You should have asked "are there worse contemporary ROCK bands"
And the answer is Yes. I think there's always someone worse.

22. I KNEW IT!
I mean, I knew you weren't serious.

U2 is like the poster child(ren) of liberals everywhere;

even if you don't like their music, you have to respect them, IMO

21. Tons of them, but...
U2 is still better than most of the crap on the radio today. Check out the songs that were nominated for song of the year at the Grammy's, complete crap. The problem is that U2 thinks it is the best band alive and some people seem to agree. They've never been anywhere near the best band in the world, but on the whole, they're at least an average band.
