U2 is okay -- some of the better pop trash out there. Bono's come a long way since I first saw him parading around in the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" video doing his best Mick Jager impersonation way back in the infancy of MTV. Good, catch pop fluff stuff.
Now, someone compared him to Eminem and rappers. I'll side with Steven Tyler on this one: the vocal/spoken word is a beautiful thing, and rap has reawakened it. Comparing these guys to Bono/pop is like comparing painting to sculpting -- they're just different. Some of the guys are mix-masters, and taking several tracks from pre-recorded songs and overlaying them to make something new and beautiful *is* art.
