If there was no U2...

[Bonochick]

Ryan Adams

If he doesn't count as a "band"...then Whiskeytown.

 

[redhotswami]

Carbon Leaf...they're the only other band I've followed as intently as I have U2. I find their lyrics spiritually stimulating, can name a song within the first few notes, have traveled to see them, always up front at the shows, etc.

 

[LemonMelon]

Please make the Muse-love stop.

My top 10 favorite artists:

1. Beatles
2. Led Zeppelin
3. U2 (basically in a three-way tie with Beatles and Zeppelin)
4. Aerosmith
5. Beck
6. Pink Floyd
7. David Bowie
8. Radiohead
9. Blur
10. The Kinks

Slopsy, Matt Bellamy was voted ugliest man a few years ago here. I remember a girl I knew who loved him being devastated at the news. [/B]

He's just a short guy with a weird face but he's one of the most talented musicians of his generation, that's what makes him great.

Anyway, earlier, I forgot to mention The Arcade Fire... CAn't forgive myself...

 

[Idun]

I think my favourite band would have been Pink Floyd if there was no U2. Right now Pink Floyd are my second favourite. But I also love Björks music and maybe she would have been my favourite.. I don't know

 

[Salome]

too many

existing and not existing anymore -
Frank Zappa, R.E.M., The Beach Boys, AC/DC, Aphex Twin, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Will Oldham, Ryan Adams etc etc

...so Oasis it is for me...

 

[blueeyedgirl]

When I first got into U2, I was a diehard Duranie, so who knows?

 

[Nisse]

I'd say Pearl Jam and U2 are about equal now as favorites for me, so PJ.

 

[U2One]

definitely Oasis.....no question about it

 

[HelloAngel]

U2 can still exist and not be your favorite band. They're certainly not my favorite anymore. So I'll say that my favorite bands are The Strokes, The White Stripes, BRMC, The Ravonettes, The Raconteurs, etc., etc.

 

[U2girl]

The Beatles.

 

[MsMofoGone]

I would have stuck like glue to the Journey era with Steve Perry.
Now there's a NEW Journey line-up and they can't compare to the past members.

 

[tuwie]

MuteMath

i'm not comparing U2 and MuteMath, but i do see some similarities between the two =)

 

[SpanishEyes21]

My Chemical Romance would be my favorite band if U2 didnt exist.

 

[U2jer]

In terms of a band that has a large catalog and knows how to play with their sound and style it would be R.E.M. for me; possibly Smashing Pumpkins, especially now that Billy has revived the band.

 

[BoMac]

Coldplay, Radiohead or Arcade Fire

 

[Bono's shades]

Bruce Springsteen. He was my favorite before I even knew who U2 were.

If I had to choose an actual band other than U2, it would be REM.

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

The Beatles. No question.

soon after.....

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Green Day
Led Zeppelin
The Who

 

[bono_man2002]

Muse, The White Stripes or Pink Floyd.

 

[mart]

If there was no U2... I think I'd cry

 

[moniii]

If there was no U2... I think I'd cry

me too !!!




eheheh ....no just kidding! there are many other great bands...
u2 is of course the best band ever


hmmm... I'm a little bit curious what do you all think about oasis?
do you like them or rather not?

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

Oasis

I like Oasis very much, thanks to my mom I like pretty much everything of theirs. I only have Dont Believe The Truth on my ipod. I need to update!!

 

[TheBrush]

Collective Soul is my strong #2, in fact they are not that far behind U2 in terms of what I listen to (frequency wise).

Top ten would probably look something like this:

1. U2
2. Collective Soul
3. Foo Fighters
4. The Killers
5. We Are Scientists
6. Incubus
7. Our Lady Peace
8. Pearl Jam
9. Elton John
10. Alien Ant Farm

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

pearl jam... they're already band 1B, so if there were no u2, they'd simply move up to 1A

 

[LemonMelon]

hmmm... I'm a little bit curious what do you all think about oasis?
do you like them or rather not?

Definitely Maybe

Morning Glory

Don't Believe The Truth

Everything else by them (Actually, there are some songs on SOTSOG that I enjoy)

So I guess I could give Oasis my approval.
