I'm definitely an apologist. There's maybe 3-4 U2 songs I don't like.
I'm the same, there are a handful of songs that I just can't stand, but I can find something to like in most of the rest.
The thing with U2 albums is that they're growers. You can't just listen to them one time and make a judgement call based on one listen, in my opinion. They aren't a band for impatient people (as we know all too well) and I think some songs need a chance to "click" before being dismissed as garbage. I didn't like SOI on first listen, but now I keep going back to it three years later; some people would have listened one time, said "that's crap!" and never given it another chance.
