I hate three on that list: U2, Coldplay and Oasis. The rest are great imo but I do think The Doors are seriously overrated. I love Radiohead's tuneless stuff, I think they are one of the most innovative bands to come out of the UK in years. But then I love Krautrock, so what do I know.

You hate U2? Have you always hated U2?

Hi David,
No, not always. I even saw them live on the Zooropa tour . It's been a gradual decline into dislike for me, I think Pop was the last album I bought. Now their music holds no interest to me but I'd still take them any day over Coldplay. I've never understood the appeal of Coldplay personally, at first they sounded like Radiohead with all the interesting parts and inspiration taken out and now they sound like a wannabe U2 band.

Edit: The new U2 single kinda reminds me a mixture of Muse and Queens Of The Stone Age.

I think Elvis Costello is okay, and I only really like one album apiece by U2 and Bruce Springsteen. A couple of them I've never heard of, and the rest I don't really care for. I'd probably add the Beatles and Led Zeppelin to the list.

I was just wondering because U2 albums like "Boy," "October," & "The Joshua Tree" are widely regarded as rock classics by both savvy rock listeners & dumb-bunny hit-parade public. U2 has seemingly appealed widely since about 1981-82 or so.

I don't know any songs of theirs since "Beautiful Day."
