U2, Where The Streets Have No Name.

Admitting to liking it is hard, but I do.

How can anyone hate the Eagles? They have to be one of the least dislikable bands to have existed!

Heh, reminds me of this...

A sentiment I share with the Dude - although the Gipsy Kings version of Hotel California, as featured in the same film, is awesome.

I feel the same way about Coldplay as many do about U2, except that I can think of a number of U2 songs that I love. However, this is the only Coldplay song I will admit to liking...

I remember when this came out, and they were on the cover of the NME being hailed as the most important thing to happen to rock’n’roll since whenever, and I loved the sheer unapologetic swagger of it, totally mesmerising, I was sold...

...but then they quickly revealed themselves to actually be just some shite pub rock band with no original ideas.

Never has a band promised so much but turned out to be so disappointing. Peaking with your debut single? Pfft.

But to be fair, they’ve still done that one great song, and it’s one more great song than I’ll ever write.

Axl Rose is an even bigger twerp than Bono but he has a great rock voice, and this has one of the all-time great killer riffs. Nice acoustic version too...
