I think that U2 isn't nearly as good as everyone says they are. Plus, Bono couldn't write lyrics if his life depended on it (I mean, who goes " uno, dos, tres, catorce?" That's going "one, two, three, fourteen!"), and he's so absorbed in himself that it's sickening. He annoys the holy living crap out of me with his pseudo-humanitarianism.
Plus, U2 hasn't done anything to really experiment with their sound. The Edge sounds the exact same in practically every song he's ever written.
In all, U2 is highly overrated. They're not the worst band ever, either, but they're not nearly as great as everyone says they are. Maybe if they did something innovative every once in a while they'd be a good band, but they've stayed the same for nearly 20 years and that ain't a good thing.
