"critics hate them" are you a fucking pleb or what, some of their albums have ridiculously high ratings and even your precious Pitchfork have given them multiple glowing reviews. kys you fucking child pleb, how does it feel that for ONCE you YOU are the pleb, get fukt

It's never irony. You just don't know anything about U2 except their overplayed singles and Bono being the world's biggest turd.

Let me help educate you. Four tracks, across their discography, give em a shot:

U2 are the best band that it's uncool to like. That's why you've never met any.

>>72626422
found bono. kys you irish cunt

>>72626564
Wow, all of these are fucking terrible. I can't believe I paused Messiaen for this shit.

>>72626564

generic adult contemporary pop bullshit

>>72626948
>Messiaen
Well, that explains it

>>72626990

Reminder that U2 is /mu/-approved

>>72626990
Show me a single time anyone on reddit praised U2. They meme on U2 over there just as much as you deaf idiots do.

Boy is a legitimately good post-punk album.

>>72626366
They feel justified after that bullshit "do you like U2?" poll that only U2 fans voted on and everyone without shit taste just ignored. That's why there's been an increase in U2 threads lately.

>>72627045
fake poll

>>72627059
U2 is a legitimately good post-punk band.

>>72626996
Holy shit this post almost made me vomit. Do you speak like this in real life? Please kill yourself if so.

>>72627059
U2 is not and has never been post-punk. They're adult contemporary/pop rock/soft rock.

>>72627050
>even reddit hates them too
That's how you know your band is the worst kind of awful

>>72627020
Messiaen is good you faggot. No wonder you like U2.

>>72627045
See >>72627071

>>72627059
>>72627081
U2 is neither good nor post-punk.

>>72626366
Why is hating them such a meme? Anytime they ever get mentioned you get like 5 people immediately dogpiling onto it with angry inarticulate rambling that sounds like they've barely even listened to them, yet they have such strong opinions. There plenty of real reasons to dislike them, especially in the last 25 years, but most of these people aren't even actually aware enough to even mention them.

>>72627161
>Why is hating them such a meme?
Because they're a terrible band.

>Anytime they ever get mentioned you get like 5 people immediately dogpiling onto it with angry inarticulate rambling that sounds like they've barely even listened to them, yet they have such strong opinions.
This is true of literally any band /mu/ has an opinion, whether positive or negative. It doesn't make U2 any less shit.

>>72627107
Wrong, they did a cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart once.

>>72627196
What do you think of U2?
> THEY'RE SHIT
Why are they shit?
> THEY'RE SHIT
Okay, but what makes them shit?
> THEY'RE SHIT

>>72627268
Whom are you quoting?

U2 are lit as fuck

this completely stands with any 80s post punk, and it's high up among it
i mean they have kind of been drifting into that kind of shit after the 90s (even during sometimes) but you must have only known them in the 2000s if you think that's what U2 "is".

>>72626564
These are poor choices. And low quality.

U2 is legitimately better than Joy Division and Talking Heads.

I didnt delete Songs of Innocence from my device.

>>72626564
Why the hell would you choose those songs to defend U2?

>>72627458
Wow look at this shitlicker

>>72627490
The whole U2 posting meme is entirely false flaggers baiting false flaggers. No one here really gives a shit about U2 either way

Edge is into the top 50 of guitarists. Maybe even 25.

>>72627581
If it wasn't for their gigantic meme status they would be decently well liked on /mu/

>>72627393
Pick better ones, since it seems you know U2 so well.

>>72627490
Great under-the-radar tracks of theirs. Minimum cringe and good songwriting. What the hell is wrong with them?

>>72626366
Their 80s post-punk stuff was great. And it's hilarious how triggered hipsters get when you even mention it.

>>72627790
I literally use "what do you think of U2" as a litmus test for people's music tastes. If they hate them I know to not take them seriously.

>>72627809
Are you me? It's a great way to know if they actually injoy music or not. I don't care if you don't like them, but if it's because of Vertigo I have to assume that you don't know shit

>>72627870
*enjoy

>>72627894
Too late, you made a typo, post discarded!

>>72627196
This. U2 objectively shit.

HELLO HELLO

>>72626918
Like bono would give the slightest shit about what this fuckinh board of virgins thinks about his music

>>72627934
>doesn't realize that U2 is a real band outside of South Park

>>72627934
BUT I'M A CREEP

oh wait, that's a different band with shitty singles but great catalog

Yes they were post-punk in their early days.

>>72626366

Do you only talk to 12 year olds?

>>72626366

I really can't take all this hatred on this site. All this name calling is finally getting to me, I feel sick, broken, and lost. I used to go online to avoid all the hate. But now mostly because of smart phones everything that I tried to avoid is online as well. I just don't know what to do anymore. People online used to be kind enough to talk too, but every year/summer this site gets worse and worse. I just want to go back to 2005. When if someone called you a faggot they really didn't mean it

>>72627458
>U2 is legitimately better than Joy Division
Wrong, but they're both pretty overrated.
>Talking Heads
U2 doesn't have an album that even approaches Fear of Music.
