they've had some great songs over the years but overall I never liked them and after I saw them on the superbowl stage singing with N'Sync and Britney I came to the conclusion that they need to hang em up.
I've always been a fan, especially of their 70's work. They are perhaps one of the greatest American rock bands. Other than a brief time without Joe Perry in the 80's they've been together with the same members like U2.
