Ain't that the truth. Early Duran Duran rocks my socks. It took a couple of years, but MTV killed that band. Whereas the advent of music videos being popular could have insured their future greatness, they started taking themselves way too seriously & were more concerned with image than art.
Green Day are more formulaic than U2 ever will be & that should speak volumes.
U2's rhythm section is great & The Edge is a good guitarist. I can understand why some have tired of his style because I have as well & I believe that an artist in his position has all the room in the world to grow a lot more than he ever has.
