Not just in this thread and not just because of Eno or Lee... it's becoming far too common a theme here..... more comparisons with Led Zep, Beatles, Pearl Jam, REM etc please. U2 covers all the genres that these bands live in and more.
U2 is better than all those bands imo. Despite that, U2 has influences from their sound. Especially The Beatles, R.E.M. and Led Zep. Therefore, anyone has the right to make comparisons with them.
