Classic case of one man's preposterously overblown ego ruining a band
Fine, write all the music, write all the lyrics, but hire someone vaguely competent to sing them

Although in yet another example of why they're the worst band of all time, Oasis followed the above advice but hired someone totally inept

there is that element of it
I like the songs enough to overlook it though.

If U2 still put out good music then I wouldn't mind so much that Bono is a complete and utter cuntbag, but their songs are so fucking awful that it just makes things worse.

I'm not putting the boot into U2
which, frankly, is as much as I dare say in this arena

I fucking hate them
Vertigo and Elevation are two of the worst songs I've ever heard

She's Electric by Oasis is a better written song.

New Year's Day isn't bad
the only one they've done even remotely recently that isn't awful was that one from that Batman film

I like that song
but there's no getting around the fact that they half-inched most of it from T-Rex' Children of the Revolution

I'm annoyed I missed all this!
Zane Lowe is brilliant and Guns N roses were brilliant and Smashing Pumpkins were OK.

That is all.

Absolutely
It is in no way massively derivative and the lyrics are genius

*shakes head*

I know how awful it is
that just sums up how much I hate those two U2 songs

Actually
I think you'll find that they're both the same song.
