Have U2 dated more or less than these 80s bands?
I've been discussing various bands of the 80s with my parents, and most particularly had a different opinion to my dad over whether U2 or The Icicle Works sounded older. He (who hates U2) claimed U2, but I thought that the Icicle Works sounded older. Below is a song example by both (first is the Icicle Works, the latter U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday video, which is similar to on the album):

I argue that U2 sound quite like an early version of Coldplay or (90s) Radiohead, but my dad says that they have dated more than a lot of other rock.
Of the bands below, which seems to you (have you heard of any or all in their 80s incarnations) like they have dated most or least?
*U2
*The Icicle Works
*REM
*The Smiths
*Guns N Roses
*Echo and the Bunnymen
*New Order
Please exclude any music by these bands post 1990.
