I HATE U2!!!!!!!!

They just ripped off Echo & the Bunnymen and have no talent. Just some leprechaun with a big hat and interminably long guitar drones of just one note!

Why on earth do people like them? They came along at just the right time and used Live Aid to make a killing.

Live Aid made them so I think they've got a duty to give 90% of their royalties to the poor in Africa.

People who don't really like music like them so they have something to say when people ask them what music they like.

Yup.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that!

I'm not a fan. Their sickle global admiration confuses me.

They ended the Troubles in Northeern Ireland with their song Bloody Sunday and they solved world hunger by doing Live Aid. God David some people are so deluded and ungrateful.

'Sunday Bloody Sunday'. What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it?

Joshua Tree is a good album. I'm not a fan of YOO TOO particularly but I would challenge anybody to write a song and then compare it to New Year's Day or Sunday Bloody Sunday and that might seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Easy I've wriiten about 20 songs which are better than (Northern Irish accent) Bloody Sunday. I bet Charley has aswell. In fact i'm going to write a number one album just to proove my point, now wheres my Moog synthosiser?

I've already done it - but unfortunately there's only one copy!

They're a tad poo. And Bono is a self-righteous twat. The sooner they disappear into oblivion the better.

So we all agree then - U2 are overrated crap.

Next subject???????

Er... Bon Jovi?

Geldof! Make Poverty History! The Arctic Monkeys! Kaiser Chiefs!

Aw, but I like little ginger Kaiser.

Yeah, but they're still overrated. One good song, two or three 'ok' ones, and a spiral of unending mediocrity.
