Excepting 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday' & 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me'- or whatever the fuck order those words are supposed to be in- Crap.

A band that has always tried too hard and never been quite right. How did they beat the Bunnymen in the '80s pop wars? Who cares anyway - CRAP.

How can you 'try too hard'? What does 'try too hard' mean?

'Try too hard'?

You know, like Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics, or INXS, Cliff Richard or something -

-clumping about the stage trying very very hard to be the coolest, the most rockingest, but just not having that proper spark of musical charisma that would make them seem like a real band.

They've always been like that.

-U2 trying to do good things, help the poor, stop AIDS, etc: Not Crap

-U2 getting involved with stupid shit like those iPod commercials: Crap.

-U2's music: Used to be okay, but they've just been sucking massive ass for a while.

i really like the expression "sucking massive ass for a while".

it conjours a majesty of images.
like someone has really dug their heels in and said to his compatriots, "this is a massive ass and if we have to suck it all weekend you can be damn sure we will still be here on monday morning".

salut antero, salut!

Yeah! Bono tries too hard and fails miserably to imitate Ian Curtis.

Holy Shit.
I can't believe I never caught on to that.
That is exactly why that song is good.
CRAP 9.999999...etc...
