U2

99% sure you haven't owned a 90s U2 LP
because owning a 90s U2 LP is supposed to change my mind?
This honestly depends on what you've heard by U2.

Radio relevancy, Mumford and Sons. Everything is overplayed, but holy hell's personal boiler heater. Mumford and Sons has so many crappy songs that pain my ears every time their folkish crap comes on.

Coldplay's last album is terrible. It should have been titled "Coldplay - Brian Eno-sounding stuff".

not really I have about 15 U2 songs in my iTunes, among my favorites being One, I Still haven't found what I'm looking for, and Vertigo.
It's just I don't understand how they're pretty much the most successful band ever. Bono, as awesome as he is donating a -blam!- ton of money to charities, seems overtly conceited almost at Axl Rose status, and their music is good, but not good enough to merit dominating the 90s and 2000s as far as revenue and popularity goes.

I love Coldplay to death, but I just cannot stand half of the songs on MX. Some, like Us Against The World, are just outstanding. However, Up in Flames and Princess of China are what ruined the album for me. The acoustic version of the song is good, but the pop/electronic crap in it is just annoying.

Much of their long lasting success comes from the 90's. In the studio, since 2000 U2 has been nearly forgettable. Yes, I own all records, but I listen to about 3-4 songs on a regular basis between the three records they have released since 2000. Even that is iffy.

One of the serious reasons U2 continues to have success is because of their reputation live. Live, U2 will always be king until they retire ('king' is debatable, but what more difficult to debate is U2 being an elite live band). In the studio, if U2 wants to continue success, they need to go back to the fiery demon they were in the 90's. Right now, U2 is an old fart in the studio. Live? Fantastic. No complaints. Just notice how U2 ditch a lot of 2000 tracks for 1999 and earlier.

Achtung Baby was revolutionary, Zooropa was a good sister album of that, and Pop was ahead of its time. U2, since 2000, has been horribly uninteresting. Sorry to say, Vertigo is only good live. The recorded track? I skip A LOT.

The really good part of it? Is that if you are having fun while posting well and enjoying your time here, not only is your trust rating improving (and the title as a result), you begin to realize/understand that the REAL reward isn't a title or a colored banner. The real reward is that you're actually enjoying your time here and your interaction with other members of the community. -Recon Number 54

Though I didn't grow up listening to it so I obviously don't 'get it.'

I agree with you they were good but have the reason the were big was because they were different and Kurt Cobain's suicide was a major playing point.

Back in Black (album) is amazing but it's pretty much public opinion they went downhill after that.

LOL

Let's just forget that Nevermind helped pioneer the grunge genre of rock and was easily one of the best albums of the 90s. Had nothing to do with Kurts death, the album is good on its own.
