no matter how often people may deny it, U2 is one of those bands that your dad listens to to try to trick himslef into thinking he was still young

Get the U2 mug.
The definition of a shitty band, pure and simple. Two of its members dont have real names, Bono the singer, and The Edge the guiterist. What your parents listen too because they think they are cool, when in fact everytime they play CD you want to step in front of a bus.
Dad: I love listening to U2 we need to play some right now.
Me: Dad U2 sucks!
Stepmom: You just have no musical taste...
Me: Correction you have no musical taste.

a very average band that are considred the biggest band in the world. some are under the opinion that they are the best band ever, but obviously haven't heard of the beatles before, which u2 completely rip off anyway.
fronted by a moron who campaigns for everyone to empty their wallets to feed the starving children while shoring up in tax havens and charging hundreds of dollars for concert tickets so people can hear the same 3 songs over and over again, just with different names.
person 1: omg u2 are so awesome!
person 2: meh, they're nothing special. go listen to some alexisonfire.

without a doubt one of the greatest wastes of opportunity and talent in this century. an incredible shitty and talentless band with a lead singer who cares more about looking the part of the worlds superman than he does about writing even halfway decent lyrics. Bono, the supposed lead singer, comes off as pretentious and self righteous, fancying himself a saviour for the poor, the underdogs, the starving. ranks next to paul weller as the worlds second largest douchebag
U2 is once again trying to save some unknown third world island from starvation. does SST records have any of those "kill bono" shirts in stock still?

The worlds MOST over-rated band. They are completely fabricated. None of the band members knew how to play instruments. The record label created them.

People tend to think they are good because they look like they are playing instruments live, but they are not.

A terrible band with political views they try to shove down your throat through their shitty music.
Kid 1: WOW! U2 is so awesome!
Kid 2: Actually, they suck you fucking tool.

A fantastic band that has created hot, artistic rock for decades - The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby prove this. HTDAAB is not the only album they've ever made. Bono is a megalomaniac, and a damn good one -one of the last great rock stars. Brian Eno doesn't work with just any old dip$hit.
Anyone who considers hair metal to be great music and/or listens to Motley Crue is not qualified to speak of u2.

or...

Bob Dylan told u2 their songs would be remembered forever. Hell, even Johnny Cash covered "One".

or...

The "uno, dos, tres, catorce" actually stands for the number of studio albums produced by u2. Very intelligent people create these albums, not jr. high Spanish students.
