Interesting that there's no mention of NLOTH being the biggest selling album of the year; would've ruined his argument I guess.
Facts just get in the way...
I'm always leery about people who use the term "mainstream media"...

wait just a minute. wasnt magnificent the golden single which would elevate the record skyhigh according to 87% on interference? this just reafirmes the "fact" that they are not the most popular band anymore. well it was supposed to happen one day and who cares... they did a great job, had an INCREDIBLE career. That they are still selling as much as they do is a testimony how great they are and have been but I really do think that after this tour it is time to pass the torch..
Pass the torch...to who?? Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga?? Truth is, U2 is the last of the greats....the music industry is changing big-time, it's sad.
Last time someone tried to put U2 down this happend:
I always thought NME was mainstream music media.
And aren't UK music mags, etc. famous for being hyper critical (except of their current darlings?)?
I had to snicker at some of the comments that pointed out (some quite entertainingly) that NME had give both NLOTH and Green Day's newest (which this article also bashes), excellent reviews.

what thE FUCK IS THAT
I've got that NME, must've bought it for teh Mondays article....Specially NME, the journalist are very rude sometimes, the prize took the journalist who wrote an realy awful article about The Shamen when their basist died after he smashed his head in a rock after been sucked in a sea current while swiming. Later NME offerd the mainman in The Shamen to write in the magazine he thoughts around the article but he didnt want to...
After that NME contunie to act very rude to the band.

Don't be too upset. I was a Shaman fan. Their first hit 'move any mountain' didnt happen till after the guy died, which he performed in. Following his death they had a completely new front man to the band, and it was then they had the majority of their hits. You could argue they should have quit when it happened, but they didn't. There's not just one side to every story.....
Can someone RATIONALLY explain what the "beef" exactly is that the British media has with U2?
I can't figure it out.
The thing that really p*sses me off about all this is the money that I've given to music mags like NME through the years for their articles on U2.
They don't mind making money off the group, do they?
I don't find these articles amusing.
All the Best, debbie
and then the whole 'Morrissey's racist!' scoop. Which was hardly a scoop but, in that particular case, an example of shoddy misrepresentative journalism.
I haven't read it for years. The Observer music monthly's where it's at.
