for sheer longevity
it has to be U2 and their entire back catalogue. Despite being adored around the world by many a MOR AOR fan, they sound like they should be playing in the back of a pub in Wakefield. Bland, emotionless, poorly written songs, played (at best) averagely and *oh* that voice. U2 are more annoying than manufactured pop shite because for them we can blame the music industry and 11 year old girls. U2 purport to be 'talented' and people with otherwise good taste are prepared to harp on about how great bloody Achtung Baby is.
