I like Chuck Berry,too. He is a great performer. I'm just tired of people saying Elvis wasn't as good as this guy or that guy. Just getting there first doesn't make you better. Elvis is the King,pure and simple. Best combination of voice,charisma,showmanship.

Bono has a better voice, more charisma and is a better showman

And he's not the only one

Bono sucks. U2 sucks.

Your opinion is wrong

Bono is the biggest and best rock star in the history of Earth.

U2 is the best band.


Enjoy Billy Joel.

Ill bet you like at least a few U2 songs.


Ill bet you've said "nice chart" about some of their songs

If U2 was playing in my backyard while on fire, I wouldnt piss on my curtains.... Or something like that

Real easy to dominate a bunch of white guys before music expanded!

U2 is a solid band and probably one of the most popular that is still around from the 80s. However, Bono is no Elvis. U2 is not as good as the Beatles either. U2 is overrated because no one talks about how bad that "Pop" album is. Bono is very annoying. He really comes off to me as thinking he's more important than he is. It would be nice if someone would turn off his mic at some point.

They are as good as the Beatles. Bono is better than Elvis. EVERYBODY talks about Pop being bad and Bono is the most important rock star of our era.

Which of the Beatles albums is as bad as Pop?

I dont think Pop is bad. I prefer it over several Beatles albums. But its all personal preference anyway.


Bono is pretty awesome Christian though

Relative to the rest of their own catalogue, probably Yellow Submarine.

Several George Martin pieces, actually. But it's considered a Beatles album, technically, and it's their worst, though "It's All Too Much" is one of their better drawn-out songs.

I don't even think Bono would compare U2 to the Beatles, or himself to Elvis. This is a pretty stupid discussion.

I agree. Some of the Beatles albums are unique in that they were actually soundtracks to movies (Help, Hard Day's Night and Yellow Submarine).

What I like best about the Beatles is they didn't skimp on the material and Elvis for that matter too. According to the Wikipedia page there were 759 songs that Elvis recorded. That's astonishing. The Beatles had over 200 songs on their albums in 8 years they released 12 studio albums, 13 EPs, and 22 singles.

U2 has released 12 albums in 38 years. So the Beatles have put out just about the same amount of material in 30 less years.

I like U2 better than the Beatles and Bono better than Elvis. Hope that's cool.



Thought it was obvious I was stating personal preference.

So now we're into bean-counting? The New Radicals only made one album and I love it more than almost anything I have.

U2 : Leary

Always around no matter what and I guess good enough to have on in the background if there aren't many other options. WAY too important for the room. Still share a condo/castle with mum.

Going by that list Lady Gaga is equal to Van Halen

So is Pop when they decided to SHAKE THAT?

But no, that's a really stupid analogy. Their musical accomplishments and influence are undeniable. It's hard not to see "Where The Streets Have No Name" as, if you'll pardon the expression, a signpost in rock music.
