U2, one of my three favorites bands. But I ALWAYS skip this song when I listen to this CD.

I think I like the IDEA of Bono, but not so much in action... it's not so much the music (I think I have Joshua Tree somewhere), it's just everything else. Did anyone see that South Park?  Also, I couldn't help looking for Physicsgenius's comment on this U2 song, they make my day. |

Keep typing numbnutses and I'll keep enjoying one of the greatest bands in rock history.

Oh, and many of us would also be grateful if Bobo would lose those goofy shades.
Did somebody already say "pretentiousness". I think so. "Bobo"!....LoL It suits him! |

Bill should play Mercy, which has sat on the play list, unplayed, for years. And that's easily the best track they've done in years. It's 6 or 7 minutes of bliss. |

Hmmm...where in my comment did I say I was rating the band? I happen to like U2 quite a bit. Well, I like good U2, anyway.
I WAS rating the song, numbnuts, and I'm standing by my comment. In the name of good taste, I don't think this should be played anymore when there's much better U2 available, so I'm dragging the overall rating down as far as I can. I hate to burst your bubble, but this happens all the time. |

It's the consistency that the Stones (who I really like BTW) can't even come close to. U2 has consistently been good for 25 years now. Hard to find a 25 year period for the Stones like that.
Popular for the last 25 years. Good is a matter of opinion. |
