Are U2 yer No1, if not, who is?

[gman]

I like knowing what music other people enjoy. I know there are a lot of ppl on here who dont have U2 as their fave artist.
So If they arent ......who is and what position does u2 come in at?
For the record, U2 ARE my fave followed by James.

 

[Bonochick]

I'd have to say that they are #1...but they are followed very closely by Ryan Adams.

 

[DevilsShoes]

U2 are my all-time number one, but I'm also a big fan of:

Led Zeppelin
Queen
The Beatles
I'm also partial to some of (though not all) Oasis's tunes.

 

[U2isthebest]

U2 and Madonna are tied for my number 1. I couldn't imagine music without either one of them.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'd have to say that they are #1...but they are followed very closely by Ryan Adams.

Really? Shocking...

Ryan is fast moving up my list I would have to say U2 is still numero uno followed by Radiohead and then Ryan Adams...

 

[CTU2fan]

U2 are #1.

They're followed by a group that gets re-shuffled depending on my mood.

REM
Pearl Jam
The Cure
RATM
Nirvana

REM is usually #2

The Police
Muse
The Beatles

[bonocomet]

U2 #1 by far.

Followed by Bowie, who I was completely consumed by thru the 80's. Also like The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Ramones, Bif Naked. Oh and Weird Al, I like him.

 

[CTU2fan]

Weird Al is brilliant...he needs to do a few more U2 parodies.

 

[bonocomet]

I've seen Weird Al in concert He puts on a great show! Took some great pics!

(Also was at a party with him in the eighties, he was nice )

 

[2861U2]

U2 was number one until a few months ago, when Smitty de-throned them.

1. Michael W. Smith
2. U2
3. Jars of Clay / FFH / Relient K / Casting Crowns

I've been fortunate enough to have seen 5 of these 6 in concert so far.

[MrPryck2U]

U2 R 1!

 

[No spoken words]

U2 is my favorite, they always will be.

REM is a very solid 2nd.

Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, Radiohead, Catherine Wheel and Rush are the next level, then a ton of others make up the 3rd wave.

[Harry Vest]

Right now it's as follows...

and let me add if I were only choosing based on they're last two albums U2 would be about 25 or 30 on the list.

 

[intedomine]

U2 have been pretty solid at number one since about '02.

Position 2 has been occupied by Live (former £1 and £2 during 02-04), Oasis (05-mid07) and more recently Travis (mid07 onward)
