I'm from New Zealand. U2 are the quintessential and ultimate rock band.

Really? Usually its the Stones or The Who who are considered the Ultimate Rock Band.

Well, when I grew up, everyone knew and loved U2 ... I was shocked when I first met a U2 hater because all around me, for my entire life, people admired U2 as the high point of rock and music in general. (With the obvious exception made for the Beatles. I'm talking more in terms of active bands during my childhood.)

Crap, Axver. I grew up on a rock, literally, and was exposed to more diverse music then you were as a child. I have never know many U2 fans.

u2's current incarnation is a pop one . they are a pop band and a great one!
bathiu said:You can see this kind of opinions because peaple are very ignorant. Yes, ignorant.
Because most, if not all debates of 80s VS 90s is actualy a UF-JT-R&H VS the 90s.
What about Boy-October-War?
When you'll take only UF, JT and R&H than yes, the 90's are more ROCK. but with the first 3 albums it's the 80's that ROCK.
U2Kitten, you're also very ignorant.
Because you have to be deaf if you hear "electronica/dance sound, dance club beats," in MoFo, or anywhere on POP. You should check what realy is "electronica/dance sound, dance club beats," and you'll see a diference.
Mofo is the only song from U2 that one of my friends, a heavy-metal fan, likes. ROCK! first class!
It's not about opinion here (like in diferent POP thread) of not liking sounds that you hear. It's about your ignorance to music styles!
D'oh! said:80s U2 is 'rockier'...... agree with U2Kitten

bonosgirl84 said:in this case, i think U2kitten is right.
it's why you still hear new year's day and sunday bloody sunday on classic rock stations.

That's good evidence there, and even the new 'hip' and 'modern rock' stations that target teenagers are still playing these songs along with new stuff! But you never hear classic or new rock stations playing any Pop or Zooropa tunes
Bono's shades said:'80s U2 was rock. So was '90s U2. Just because a song has some dance beats mixed in doesn't mean it isn't rock.
The reason Pop and Zooropa songs don't get played on classic rock radio is the programmers for those stations have a very narrow view of what rock music is.
I think of U2 as a rock band first and foremost who write some songs that have pop crossover appeal, like The Sweetest Thing, Stuck in a Moment, etc.
