self indulgent t££t and the music is sh*te.

Was this inspired by just watching him swagger around on Johnathan Ross?

I'd personally go for the former but if some good comes off the back of it then that's ok by me.

P.S I think their music is average at best and usally the same old sound again and again.

I was listening to them perform that new Boots track and I was instantly reminded of any number of well known tracks including We Didnt Start The Fire by Billy Joel.

Correct answer Wiz, thought the forum needed a question on this.. His does try to help the people n need though? Doesn't he?

Ill throw something in here: I think he's awsome!

Fair enough can I ask why? Just interested I don't dislike their music just him but perhaps don't know enough about him would like more info?

Yeah I do have a guilty love of that Billy Joel track especially if you ever hear Osymyso's mix of it spliced with Stakker's Humanoid!

My older brother put me off U2 for life as he's such a dick anything he liked I'd naturally have to scorn. He's a second hand car salesman who loves going to hard house nights like Good Greef.

"Nuff said" as he likes to say.

And I'd take them over any boy band too, but I dont think they're groundbreaking in anyway when to compared to the likes of The Who, Pink Floyd or my personal favourite Frank Zappa. I've been sketching and listening to Joe's Garrage, and We're Only In It For The Money over the last few days and I was lamenting the loss of such a great composer, innovator and satarist all rolled into one.

I found "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee" and "Catholic girls" especially poignant last night :!

All I want is you is a quality song,and the B sides to the 12" . but no love Reign o'er me as Replete says.

Gone with a yes/no. Couldn't decide answer.

Isnt it just!

Regardless of everyones opinion of the individuals, I saw U2 play in the VERY early days to a crowd of 300, I went to the Joshua Tree tour, Zooropa, PoP and the last Vertigo at Manchester City, each and every concert blew me away.

The Zooropa tour in particular was visually stunning. They also played a free concert to all those wanting to attend that held a UB40 card.

Despite every show worldwide selling out, the cost of the production nearly bankrupt the group!

The worlds biggest band, a c0ck leading them in many ways but still someone who has raised serious issues globally, given his time and effort, used his profile to try and help where he can.

Regardless of what you think of him/them, the world is NOT a worse place for having them around!!

Just my tuppence worth.

Frig Me, Albarn is awful. Channel 4.

U2 anyday.

They must be doing something right for the amount of records they sell and have done so around the world. It’s not my cup of tea and i don't own any of their records but i will admit that some of their songs are pretty darn good, I prefer the older stuff up to pop era.

I'd say it's nay on impossible to be regards as the 'biggest band in the world' and not be a self indulgent tw*t, i'm sure he'd be much more manageable had he just been a regular bloke in a regular job...probably would have got a ribbing for his height though

edit: talking of channel 4...the cure are pretty awesome and have some gems of songs!

probably...god only knows how europe don't have that title
