Clayton and Mullen are the rhythm section I'd want to form a band around. Solid and steady as ****. The Edge is so much better than people give him credit for. Yes, Bono became insufferable once fame set in, but he's still one of the better front men of the past few decades.
Two of the most phenomenal rock performances I've seen in the last 30+years were U2. Their set during Live Aid in 85 was second only to Queen. And months after 9/11 they blew the ****ing roof off during the 2001 Super Bowl halftime show. All ages, all races, all creeds, were moved that night by U2. A perfect band aid.
Not trying to sway you Frowny. Just wondering why you brush their entire career aside so easily.
