[James Bond]

I love U2's music but yes - Bono is an arsehole.

Nugnr and I hate Nugnr. U2 are literally off the scale.

So in the context of U2, Nu Guns are the best band of all time. I knew you'd see it my way. This must be how the CIA control the media narrative.

Chris Martin runs Bono very close in the unbearable cunt league table.

[DieselDaisy]

1. U2

2. Coldplay

3. Radiohead.

2. and 3. are my 1st and 2nd definitely.

I remember a few years back Bono and Chris Martin had a little public tiff with Bono calling Chris a wanker. The pot calling the kettle black.

There was one online piece about it titled 'A Wanker Calls A Wanker A Wanker'  Made me chuckle.

For anybody who thinks U2 were good in the 80's. These guys were ten times the band that Bono and co wish they were.

The album Ocean Rain by Echo & The Bunnymen sounds amazing. No electric, only acoustic guitars.

PiL also piss all over them.  As do The Fall.  I suppose whenever you get these substantial bands in a particular vein there's always a soft as shite malleable alternative that comes about after the fact and makes big money.

Definitely. TBH I prefer Simple Minds U2 without the annoying arsehole.
