I never understood why so many people see U2 as some kinda guilty pleasure or some people who have no respect for their popularity. I have never heard of this with any other rock band...ever! I've never heard of someone saying, "Oh good, you're a Rolling Stones fan too. I thought I was the only one at this party who was!" Or "You like Led Zeppelin?! You and everyone else! Why don't you be original and find a band instead of having someone tell you to listen to them?!" People think this way with pop not rock... and U2 is not pop... although an album title might tell you otherwise. Perhaps, U2 is popular because they are good and deserve it?! No... can't be that easy, right? Bono has to put spells on his albums to have people like them, right?
Rock on!
What a band, eh?! I owned their greatest hits for about 2 years before I actually got their first album. My mom's name is Roxanne and that's the reason I bought their greatest hits in the first place. She does put on the red light, if you were wondering. I listened to their greatest hits for a whole summer while cutting grass because I hate cutting grass and The Police brought some much needed bounce into my step. I play the drums and to actually know how to play them and to hear what Stewart Copeland plays is astonishing. The same I'm sure for any guitar player listening to Hendrix. If you are a drummer check out The Police song "Man in a Suitcase" and then just put down your drum sticks and walk away from your kit in tears.
Rock on!

I think Sting's a much better frontman than Bono, myself. They've both got biiiggg egos, but there's someting about Sting that's much less abrasive. I don't know what it is, but maybe it's just the tantric rumors that give him the edge.
I consider myself the largest Who expert of southwestern Pennsylvania. I am a massive fan but not a fanatic. I have friends who literally bake cakes for musicians, they don't know and never met, on the musicians' birthday... but I will never go that far...ever! Who doesn't have a favorite artist? I'm sure my story is no different than yours on why you love a band... or this band...so I'm not going to bore you with my story. In the coming months the Who will hit the fan! A new EP, a new LP, and two new movies about The Who and Keith Moon will be released. It is a great time to be a fan of such an amazing band and to see them finally get their just desserts :)
Rock on!
