Rate The Musician/Artist #11 - U2
So yeah, I kinda screwed up on that last one and made two threads. Well I got it all sorted it. And Garth Brooks enters the board the highest (And only country) artist at Number 5, Taking Wu Tang Clans spot.

Ah guys you know what, here in Halifax Nova Scotia, Its a gorgeous day, some might even call it beautiful

U2



U2 (IPA: /ˌjuːˈtuː/) are a rock band from Dublin, Ireland. The band consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). U2 have been one of the most popular acts in the world since the mid-1980s. The band has sold more than 170 million albums worldwide, and has won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other rock band.
U2 formed in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. By the mid-1980s, however, the band had become a top international act, noted for its anthemic sound, Bono's impassioned vocals, and The Edge's textural guitar playing. Their success as a live act was greater than their success as a record-selling act until their 1987 album, The Joshua Tree, brought them mega-stardom. Their 1991 album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour were part of a significant reinvention for the band; it was a response to their own sense of musical stagnation, the dance and alternative rock revolutions, and criticism of their image. This experimentation continued for the rest of the 1990s.
In the early years of the 21st century, U2 have pursued a more traditional sound while maintaining influences from their previous musical explorations. They continue to enjoy high levels of commercial and critical success. The band is active in human rights, international development, and social justice causes, such as Amnesty International, Make Poverty History, the ONE Campaign, Live Aid, Live 8, Bono's DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade in Africa) campaign, and Music Rising.

I'm going for a six.

I like a decent amount of their stuff, but really don't think they live up to their hype, even remotely. A lot of their tunes are every bit as pretentious as Bono is.

Also, Bono has enough enough money he could probably set up an infrastructure in most of those countries he whines about being in debt. One man who could actually DO something about it, and he'd rather make a rock concert. That in no way affects my score, but it really pisses me off.

I hate Bono so much. I would give them a 0 but they are highly influential on a lot of good bands and it's really Bono who I can't stand... to the point where I won't even listen to U2.

I agree.

I was trying to identify a U2 song the other night on the radio, and I couldn't for the fucking life of me.
