As far as U2, they were an alternative pop/rock when they came out. They were not popular in the main stream until later. People can disagree with what I say about the Beatles, but I don’t think what I say about U2 is even open for discussion. I was there, and they were not aiming to be part of the “in crowd“. I didn’t think they were that good after their first album but they were hardly what I call a bunch of sellouts.

[@71fluffdaddy]

Beatles would’ve been forgotten without George Martin? Are you out of your mind? George Martin had little in the thought making process of making music even Paul McCartney stated this. As far as U2 there was no term alternative rock band when they came out they were simply a Rock Band and they were good and got progressively better as the years went on making great albums.

After the gig, we waited all night & some met Bono & some of us met The Edge at different concerts. *The Edge just stopped jumped out of his car (Groupie drinking a Beer in the back of the limo) & signed autographs & left quick. *Bono on the other hand, at 2am, had the giant garage door open up at the end of the slanted platform where the equipment goes down, suddenly walked up out of nowhere & appeared in the middle of the huge garage entrance way, & slowly walked up the incline to the top, like the G*d we thought (& he was convinced) he was. Very dramatic. So when i told my very ethnic Irish uncles i went, they were horrified & all my Uncle Butch could say was: "And what the hell does Bono know about Billie Holiday, anyway?"

George is a beautiful soul. Bono self-titled himself with the Latin for “Good Voice”, and thinks his own best song is the one where he begins by shouting “ One, two, three, *fourteen* ” in Spanish.

[@lf170]

Yeah, a beautiful soul who badmouths other musicians and calls them talentless. It's a shame, because Bono has praised the Beatles countless times, and I don't think I've ever heard a member of U2 talking negatively about other artists. I love Harrison's work with the Beatles, Bono gets on my nerves with his "posturing" and preachiness, and U2's last 3 or 4 albums have been mediocre. But U2 have more than made their mark artistically, releasing several excellent albums in their 46 year long career.
