I like their early work. They were fans of Joy Division and their influence shows in U2's music during the 80s - so bonus points for that imo. I admire the Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. as musicians. I thought as far as artist/bands of the 80s their music was more real, more authentic sounding than that of pre-fab sounds of Michael Jackson and Madonna, which was only music for the masses anyhow.
