ill be the first to admit that i hate him mostly because of his personality. u2 is nothing special. if you threw coldplay and five for fighting into a blender youd have u2. then again, you could pretty much combine any shit band with coldplay and end up with a u2 smoothie.

Wha??...Five For Fighting sound nothing like U2 to me, they are more like Keane fronted by Wayne Collie doing a bad Cher impersonation.

You people are obnoxious. Respect these mens' music, leave politics out of it. U2 have left their mark on the world, and were instrumental in making an alternative to hair metal and all that garbage. Without U2, there would be none of your precious Radiohead. Hell, alternative music may not have even become popular enough to become mainstream.

The real question here is "why don't YOU hate U2/Bono?"

The points Urban came up with are very accurate.

The albums all sound the same. He preaches to donate money when he make multi millions a year. Sueing people over a hat? Come on dude. Not to mention he has no voice talent that I can hear. I think they are kind of like the Metallica thing going on. They had their time in the lime light but don't want to leave so all of these homos keep buying their albums keeping them their when a much better band could be right in there.

And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead.
