Joshua Tree was an amazing album,and their older stuff is great,granted.But nowadays they bora tha fuck outta me,and Bono is one of the most bloated ppl I've ever seen in my life.Add the fact they want to be oh-so-politically correct while demanding ridiculuously high fees for one gig,and I'm starting to get fed up.And comparing them to trance or any other electronic genre is just stupid,as the music trance producers or whatever make has nothing to do with what U2 are doing(apart from Discotheque and some more tunes on Pop maybe)
in my opinion, U2 is one of the few bands that actually updates their music style, yet holding onto their vast creativity.
my U2 favs list:
With or Without You
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Stuck in a Moment
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Discotheque
Staring at the sun
Mysterious Ways
dude, i absolutley love U2... they are just aweosme... i still want to see them live... U2!!!!!!!!!
bah, I never really liked U2. I can stand them, but they can in no way be compared to trance.
Certainly not
U2 = overrated

they are alright..staring at the sun and with or without you are great..but the song where u too is sitting in a carriage in the video fuck i have never been sooooo annoyed by a song ever.
what a great thread!! I love U2, and saw them in Chicago last year, was the best concert ive ever seen 
There remixes are great too
Vive la revolution
i like how u2 experiment and do crrazy stuff, that demands respect. as far as discotheque being described as cheezy.. meh. i look at it as the band having a laugh, and it's really quite a cool song some truly wicked production. the concert experience of a u2 show is very rave-like.. especially when streets happens. it's a communal thing. in that way i would compare it to trance. i got a kick of tiesto saying one song he wanted to remix was where the streets have no name. U2 plays and has played a much greater part in my life than trance music, but that's just me,and on a trance forum i wouldn't expect it to be the norm. I worry though about them, especially after the last album. Hopefully we will see some innovation from them again.
i dunno if any of u heard but when they had their Pop tour, the lighting was so bright that people in surrounding areas called up the police reporting alien landings
oh and the best part about U2, is that they hate miming on Stage and everything is live

Yeah like he said. The band has never recieved corporate sponsership. Take a look at the ZooTV tour. They risked themselves financially and staged a huge, spectacular show and took a massive hit. They could have just played in arenas with nothing but a few spot lights and it would have made them more money. The reason they didn't do this was because they wanted the fans to have a great time. They succeeded. Same with the Pop Tour. They truely care about their fans. For anyone who hasn't read U2 - At the End of the World by Bill Flanagan, READ IT NOW!!! It is such a good book about U2.
well as for the 'lack' of tie ins, i think getting pimped by MTV is about as bad as commercialism can get. and if the 'Pop' thing was lost on US viewers that was prolly the reason|
U2 = Most over rated band on the planet.
Isn't oakenfold making music with U2???
