I think that's the problem, alot of times that statement is presented as 'fact'. It's not fact that they in fact do suck. It's an opinion, that's all, and not even a widely held one, imo.
gluey said:Why do some of you consider yourself to be fans of the band, and yet a lot of what I see around here is:
- How you hate a lot of songs
- How Bono's voice is bad etc
- How Larry's drumming sucks
- How bad different albums are
What do you actually like about U2?

Rosebud said:That's been my curiosity; I just don't understand why some people are active members of a current U2 fan site if you think the band sucks (either sucks nowadays, or sucks as people - i.e. Bono's a bastard, etc.). Why are you here?
I don't mean to say "take a hike" or anything like that, I'm just genuinely curious. Also, I know that it's very possible to be an avid U2 fan but not like their recent stuff (though I'd really disagree), because their music has varied so so so much over the years. But what I don't get is then, why do you still come to the forums? Does it not feel like kind of a waste of time?

nah, i use regular old-fashioned christmas lightsGirlsAloudFan said:Does love light up YOUR christmas tree?
last unicorn said:Some people like to see U2 go back to their past glory or - even better - be stuck in their past forever. Some people - like me - love to see the band evolving and go with them, that also means being open and excited about whatever they are going to do for their next project instead of bitching about how band things are and how bad they will be in the future.

The problem with this is that U2 are no longer evolving.

in my opinion they now suck."?
ETA: Oh, and because an opinion is not widely held does not make it any less right or wrong. It's an opinion, every which way you look at it.

- professional whines hates album X, you think album X very good= you would even applaud U2 releasing an album of farts, you obviously do not like Real Music and are an idiot
- professional whines loves album X, you think album X isn't exactly the best thing the band has ever done = you obviously don't get it, do not like Real Music and are an idiot

It's that musical / intellectual snobbery that is the undercurrent to alot of these 'opinions' that gets people all defensive, imo. It's almost as if we're made to feel dumb for liking, say, ATYCLB, or that we just aren't as seasoned or expert in the field of Real Music....I thought I was the only one who felt this undercurrent, I guess not!
