Why do we love U2???

[spinninghead77]

Let's see how many reason's we can list why U2 are the greatest band in the world:

1) Because Bono has charisma
2) Because Edge's guitar playing ROCKS
3) Because they leave you wanting more
4) Because Larry hasn't aged in 20 years
5) Because there lyric's mean something

Keep it going..... I bet that we can get to 100, or maybe 1000!!!!

6) Great live shows!

you can try the best you can
you can try the best you can
the best you can is good enough

1. Because they fly 100 feet over the ground, leaving no shadow below them.
2. Because Eamon Dunphy told us to (not).
3. Because they're not dead yet.
4. Because Bono is the first great white soul singer since Van Morrison.
5. Because the Edge doesn't believe in guitar solos - for an atheist he plays very good solos.
6. Because they still seem to give a shit.
7. Because on their own, each member WOULD be shit.
8. Because it's all they know how to do.
9. Because lyrics do matter.
10. Because the media hasn't a clue what they are about, and the fans know exactly what they're about.
11. Because you can only love or hate them.
12. Because it took them ten years to sing about sexual healing.
13. Because they're not Henry Rollins.
14. Because although they don't have the best tunes, the best beat or the best looks, they have the best obsession.

I am only replying so that people will read this one. Kieran pretty much said it all. I guess I have one to add:
1)Because you can stand on the floor of an arena in the midst of 350 of your closest U2 friends and pogo and sing your lungs out and laugh and cry all in the same night.

 

[clarityat3am]

Because they play with all their heart, they're very intelligent...and their hot!

 

[U2girl]

They have the spark that touches me beyond any other band.

I can't explain it any better than that.

Well, not quite. 'Athiest' is the wrong word maybe, but I mean in the sense that he doesn't 'believe' in guitar solos (whether he does or doesn't I could care less - it's all rhetoric).

Yep, that's always been a huge factor.

 

[hippy]

Beacuse of all the reasons already mentioned...and

Because they are human and not afraid to admit that.

Because they care.
Because they can make a difference.
Because they are friends.
Because they were friends before they were musicians.
Because they can touch the souls of millions.
Because they are decent human beings.
Because their music is uplifting.
Because there is always a U2 song that fits the moment perfectly, any moment.
Because they share their emotions with their fans.
Because they are Irish.
Because they love peace.
