Think about it, They've been around for Three Decades and yet they still remain relevant. Think about it They started as a new wave band and they are the only new-Wave Band thats truly been producing hits of late, U2 is the only one. I know I'm going to get flamed for this but who cares,
Anyone Else Think U2 is the next Rolling Stones?

I don't feel U2 has done anything interesting during the last 10-15 years...and the earlier stuff...I don't feel it can ever be compared to the Stones...I think they're (U2) one of the most overrated bands ever.Originally posted by Cato

Well, Bono did originally record "Silver and Gold" with Keith Richards & Ron Wood, so that should count for something.
Nah, the Stones and U2 are two of my favorite bands, but I don't see any point in directly comparing the two.Eat Us And Smile

U2 suck. They always have and always will. Their first few albums, every damn song sounded the same. One friggin' note, over and over. Add to that, Bono (dumb name) and his moralizing all the time....I wish this band would just drop off the face of the planet! Is anyone able to have a good time at a U2 concert???? How can you?Stay Frosty, muthas!Comment

i think U2 are overrated and have never liked them really,but then i think the stones are pretty overratedI really love you baby, I love what you've got

No, they're not.
Why? because at their peak, the Stones represented something dangerous and rebellious.
U2 have always had "good guy " images, and now that Bono is running for "Most Altruistic Guy in the World", it oversahdows the band more than ever.
Besides, could you EVER imagine the Pope granting an audience to Keef??? Boy, that'd go over well..!Comment

Think being an all-time great band has to do with things other than longevity.
Guess in some respects U2 are right up the same alley as the Stones, in that their best music, for me, is far behind them.
U2....man, really torn over how I feel about that band. War was great. Dug the Joshua Tree. Same goes for Achtung Baby. Bono just irks me.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

I'm sure ive said this before, but I always believed that Dave's quote to the effect of: "Hey, you got a message? Call Western Union" was a direct slam of U2. So I hated them in the 80's. Then I grew up...and now they are my second favorite band...
I don't mind it when people say they suck. You got your opinion, I got mine...Maybe this is what a heroine addict feels like after getting a long awaited fix, shooting up in the corner of some abandoned building and just not giving a fuck about what the rest of the world thinks...TATTOO"Comment
