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.
