Is it the self-righteousness of this man that makes most of you hate U2's music? I mean, "New Year's Day", "The Unforgettable Fire", "Where the Streets Have No Name" ... these are all great songs. You don't agree? And I say this not being a fan as I already mentioned, so don't give me **** as a fanboy.
Bono's self-righteousness is not a part of it for me, I could honestly care less about that. What makes me dislike them is their dull and bloated music.
