We want another U2 RS cover!

[Also, Prince over Pixies for Most Welcome Comeback? Duh...when did Prince officially quit in order to have an actual comeback?]

I think it's because Prince's comeback was to the mainstream, rather than just catering to die hard fans. :wink:
 
U2 have been sweeping these polls for a while - did it in the JT era, the AB era and the ATYCLB era.

However, the one time U2 failed to win was in the Pop era. If I recall, even the tour didn't win!

I guess that tells us how popular that era was - little wonder U2 changed directions after 1998. ;)
 
it's nice to see some good news :)
what i want to know is what band won the coveted "Best Gratuitous Removal of /and or Unbuttoning of Shirts" category?
I surely thought that Bono and Larry had this one wrapped up for the band......oh well, maybe next time......

U2 is always changing directions.
