Fabulous band, quality album after quality album back in the day, a brilliant live stadium band as well. I saw U2 in a tiny venue when I was 13. They were fantastic. There was no one there. Was £1 to get in. Was just around the time Boy was about to come out Don't do concerts but they were something else back then I saw them at that time too. Agreed, terrific.

Adam looked like a dinner lady I remember them doing the song Electric Co . Rather good. An Cat Dubh and Out of control. Great energy despite about 18 people watching .

But completely up their own arse If they weren't as big probably wouldn't have noticed what shitty arse flaps they are and possibly would like more of their music I so hope this is true, and not one of those urban myths... U2 in concert in Glasgow, music stops and Bono swaggers to the front of the stage and starts slow clapping.... " Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies" Bloke on the front row yells " Well stop clapping then ya cunt "

Bands sign record contracts for X amount of albums and as such, always end up churning out shit just as fillers to pad out albums and get on tour.
Even the best bands have reels of absolute cack.
The amount of shite Liam and Noel Gallagher have farted out is mental. I absolutely loved Oasis growing up, and some of their solo stuff, including Beady Eye, was good but it seems they now release stuff every other weekend and still easily pick up headline slots.

Beady Eye were fucking gash. Their best song is a World of Twist cover (and even that is not as good as the original).

Anything either of them have been involved with since is radio2 friendly, boring shite

Pink Floyd Red Hot Chilli Peppers Agree regarding Chilli Peppers but Pink Floyd? Behave! Any number of Screamo mainstream pseudo-heavy metal bands. Bring Me The Horizon are a good example. Manufactured plastic band with an even more manufactured image and a very polished radio friendly sound with absolutely no style or substance whatsoever. Shit band, shit music.

“Why does it always rain on me’s” a great song as is “Turn” but that’s it for me. Just way to depressing and dowdy.

New order from Blue Monday onwards
(New Order prior to Blue Monday were great)
The Jam from Eton Rifles onwards
(The Jam prior to Eton Rifles were also great)
The Cure from love cats onwards
(The Cure prior to Love Cats were very good)
Many bands make their best stuff prior to making it big, after that they become smug, rich, parodies of their younger selves.
Oh, and Daft Punk are absolutely wank

God almighty, awful music. In my opinion of course lol don’t know what that says the rest of there tunes. The one that I can’t handle is driftwood. Day after day back in the 90s I had to listen to it all the time when my boss had XFM on.

Hmm Good year for albums Second half of the 90's for me were the dullest blandest time for pop music (in the widest sense) Not even 'so bad it's good' records just dull Always exceptions of course With the explosion in the ways we can access music since then pop /chart music has almost become irrelevant instead of the landmarks of the decades from 1956 to about 1994 21st century music is more interesting, more varied but without the tribal loyalty and passion of the past Some great music out there but the relevance of pop music has dwindled
