I only like U2's song with Lykke. For obvious reasons.
With Or Without You has been relegated to that "good for a drunken singalong" status along with songs such as Mr. Brightside and Wonderwall and it makes it even more insufferable.
No one needs to pretend to like Radiohead when their music is genius, lol.
And Britney will never put out anything on the same level as Politik, God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, The Scientist, A Rush of Blood to the Head, Fix You, Yes, Violet Hill, etc.
Have you really enjoyed their music post Viva la Vida? they lost their passion.
Mylo Xyloto is a flawless album, Ghost Stories was great & A Head Full Of Dreams is also a good album.
Why even talk about passion when they are SO passionate & personal about their work when most people on ATRL stan for talentless prostitutes that have no input or interest in anything they do?
War is U2's only decent album and that's because they still had post-punk influences in their music.
I remember that at one point charts were flooded with Travis, Keane, Muse and Coldplay and then Kaiser Chiefs and The Kooks appeared. Those were dark days for Britain. Thank God now we have These New Puritans and Wild Beasts aka the best British bands of the late 00's.
