I do not enjoy U2 and have never been a huge fan of their music. I have a few of their albums and even saw them live twice....once in concert and once on the top of a roof that was made semi famous in one of their videos. Still, I just do not like them that much.
That being said, I would argue all day long that they belong in the pantheon. They continue to be relevant socially, musically, and politically (regardless of Bono's pompous persona). They definitely have redefined themselves musically and have a catalogue that is quite diverse--electronica, rock, ballads, r&b, jazz, and country influenced tunes, as well.
