I can understand why some of you guys don't like U2. But they resonate with me. Maybe I'm just a simple guy, but I'm amazed at the volume of listenable, legitimately good music they've produced. They are one of the all time great bands, and they are my personal favorite.
I like U2. I just prefer their older stuff. I was at Sun Devil Stadium when they were shooting film for Rattle and Hum. That was one of my favorite shows of all time.
