Seriously? From what I've heard, the touring industry has never been better. There are multiple good gigs every night. I've never heard any indie bands complain about downloading. The ones in my town usually acknowledge it for helping spread their music because the RADIO WONT PLAY IT and...

All they did was make money off the inevitable leak. They are the ONLY smart band around. Every album leaks, and they knew In Rainbows would so they took control of it, put it out when it was done and gave people the option to pay for it, which many people did. And a lot of people bought it...

HELL YEAH FUCK YEAH!! Steve Drozd should be there too; that guy is the greatest musician in rock. And Wayne Coyne could be the cheerleader and keep them honest. If they're going to continue to bring in people from the past Flood should be next on the list because he's an adventurous man...

The only bands on that list who could be considered among the best of the decade are Wilco and Radiohead. The rest are manufactured shit who'd be nowhere without millions in promotion or they're only there because they used to be great (Dylan, U2). Radiohead and Wilco are so far above everyone...

everyone's so serious around here!

that's your opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's your opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, sometimes. They could, all the time. But they probably don't want to, like most normal bands, because stadiums fucking suck. They sound is shit.

Guitar-wise? Come on, be serious. He's on autopilot on that one.

Not one of their worst - it is their worst. And one of the worst I've ever seen, by anyone. It was like being peed on, in the eyes.

Bono's statement MAKES NO SENSE. How does the type of music played make a band more "common"?

1990-2000 is entirely unrepresentative of U2 during that time frame, and having two 2002 songs makes a mockery of the concept, but I think that it's one of their best albums, and the only greatest hits set I've ever listened to with any regularity (though it's untouched since 04-05). It has an...

It's funny, he used to play quite a lot of solos. Boy and Achtung are full of them! He's only really turned his back on them lately. He's turned his back on trying to play anything interesting too.

Yeah, it can pretty cool. Like checking out Pearl Jam's 40 song set last week. Or seeing that Blur played Oily Water, the Verve played Already There and so on. I like it when bands I like unexpectedly play songs that aren't obvious and that I love. Some people only want to hear Parklife or...

I've noticed that some people have a hard time with figures of speech. A hard time as in, they don't fucking get it. His OPINION is that it's not debatable! For fucks sake... Anyway, Your Blue Room is just as good as Gloria and An Cat Dubh and far better than Electric Co, but the latter is...

No shit it's my opinion. And the consensus among music fans, not U2 fanatics, is that post ZOO TV U2 is not that great. I'm a little more charitable than most since I think that they were great til Bomb (which is shit). But Passengers - All That is a notch below the greatness that preceeded...
