But their 80s and 90s stuff I think deserves all the praise it can get! In particular The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Passengers and Pop make up the cream of the crop where I think they showcased such a variety of styles that it could almost rival The Beatles!
Nooo don't be comparing U2 with the Beatles!

Apart from 'I will follow' which is great, I've always thought of U2 as the most insipid of stadium rockers. 'One' in particular winds me up, with its vague sub-Lennon/Marley hugging-and-learning-pap lyrics about nothing in particular. I see more of their influence in Coldplay than Radiohead.

Also Bono is a twat.
