REM & Talking Heads, agreed - great!

They did go through periods that I don't care for, but one reason I like U2 is the same reason I like all guitar bands (well most of them). I'm a guitarplayer and I the love sound of the guitar. Dance music can be dated but good guitar music is timeless.

The Edge has a different approach then most guitarist, his guitar is heavily processed and that give it texture, it's different and unique (sometimes his guitar playing has an ethereal sound to it - like Bad or Wire.)
