Ah, almost as entertaining as the Liam Gallagher thread
Personally and IMHO....
U2 have written some pretty decent tunes, but they have also written some goddamn AWFUL ones.
They have an instantly recognisable sound which sets them apart from most mainstream drivel, but they REALLY aren't as good as they like to think they are...
They have a lead singer who annoys the turds out of me. If he lay across my lap on a TV programme, while ignoring the outstretched hands of his fans a couple of seats away I'd tell him to "get off my f*cking lap unless he wants a kicking"....
I have no opinion on Adam Clayton. He seems to do a solid enough job for the band though.....
....and I defend my right as freespeaking Basschat member to have these opinions.
