AC/DC and U2 are the most despised bands in the known world. Odd, they may have sold a lot of records, but I don't really know a lot of people who like them.
Personally, I think both bands had a solid 8 album run before they really went downhill. Up until U2 did Pop and AC/DC did Flick of the Switch, they were good bands.
They're overexposed, but again they get a lot of flack, and undeserved because they're certainly not the worst bands out there who get a lot of radio play.
Overall I like half of those bands you listed, but if your friends really like Oasis, they must be pure evil..... or British, I don't know how anyone outside of the UK takes that band seriously.
