They have some all time classics

the backlash isnt necessarily undeserved, but theyre more fun than people give them credit for and most of their 80s & 90s stuff is excellent

ill never forget the time I saw them at Bonnaroo 2017 playing The Joshua Tree. I got a great spot for it

Eh. They're very unremarkable. They have a billion songs that people like but they all sound like noise to me. Never understood why they are held in such high regard.

Also obligatory Songs of Innocence.

Same. Even saw Joshua Tree and Zoo TV tours, but I don't have anything newer than Passengers. I just completely lost interest.

Boy, October, War are really good.

Next three albums, dull and overblown.

Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop, they did some interesting things.

Since then, I haven't paid much attention.

I do really like The Edge as a guitarist, though.

No. Bono is a pretentious word I cant say here. When I think of U2 I think of this joke:

U2 are playing in Scotland. And between songs, Bono starts clapping his hands above his head and says:
Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.

So a Scot from the back row yells out!
Then stop clappin your fuckin hands!

Why no indifferent choice

I like some of their songs but most of their older radio hits all sound the same and I never cared to really check them out

I love U2 but this is also hilarious

Or I should say I love 80s and 90s U2. I only like what they have done since.

Seen them 5 times in concert though

Generally in music I dont have anyone I actively dislike. At worst Im usually indifferent about them but U2 is 1 of 2 bands when they come on Ill change the channel. I just dont like them. Those 3 hits off Joshua Tree were played a lot when it came out and it just never resonated with me. Those 3 and Sunday Bloody Sunday off the previous album.

I heard an early studio cut of U2 a long time ago from before they released Boy. Bono sounded a bit like Robert Smith. He hadnt quite found his voice yet.

While I dont like them, I find the only tolerable stuff from Joshua Tree. In the timeframe Achtung Baby came out thats when the Seattle bands were blowing up in the fall of 91 and I was really into that along with west coast rap and a bunch of other stuff but yeah they just never clicked either me and I actively avoided them from Rattle and Hum onward.

I was into grunge, west coast rap, and U2 around 1992
