1. Other: I am a fan of U2 up until Achtung Baby
which was their last really good album. Now, though, they just need to call it a day.

3. yes, now in addition to violating numerous fashion standards, having
horrible stage moves, and being unbearably pompous about the societal worth of their music, their music has degenerated even further than I thought possible.

8. For me, it's all about the music.
Fuck the fashion sense, stage moves, and pomposity. If the music's GOOD, it's excusable.

And I saw U2 on the Zoo TV tour...they rocked. (Didn't hurt that Public Enemy opened, either.)

2. I'd rather sit through every single episode of "The Lawrence Welk Show"...
than sit through that disgusting display today.

4. Just bought "The Unforgettable Fire" so I'm ready for MLK Day next year.
I know, I'm a U2 late bloomer.

7. of U2 albums, that is definitely my least favorite pre-Pop
it has that damn song that rhymes every possible word that ends with "ate", and may be the worst song in history...
