    Yeah there's far too much U2 knockin' goin' on. Like honestly, they're one of few Irish bands who actually put Ireland on the map.

    Well then you definitely have to like them :rolleyes:

    I don't recall saying whether you have to like them or not.

    The least ya can do is tolerate that their music has made countless people acroos the globe happy and that's what music should be all about. Why did you have to call that other poster's opinion bollocks?! What I mean to say is, if you dislike an artist, you could at least respect other peoples opinions on the matter.


    'Fcuk putting ireland on the map. Columbus put america on the map and nobody's whistling any of his shantys.'

    Well maybe that's because Columbus was an explorer, not a musician. And as for singing Columbus's praises, knowledge of his deeds are mandatory on the Junior Certificate course, if that's not appraisal I don't know what is.

    I presume he meant that in his opinion, the notion that U2 are the greatest band to come out of Ireland is bollocks.

    And in fairness, the poster who he quoted implied that anyone who didn't think U2 were the greatest band to come out of Ireland was an Indie/Metal snob....

    Ohmigod, two posters mentioned U2!! The horror! I guess the usual indie/metal snobs will be in shortly to tell you that, in fact, you're wrong!!

    Imagine that! An IRISH person, on an IRISH forum, actually confessing to a liking for the greatest band that ever came out of Ireland!!

    **** me!!
    only because you fecking mentioned it.

    there were 8 posts from the first U2 nomination and your post and not a single word was said about their nominations. then you waltzed in.v

    Cheers for posting that, as my repsonse wouldn't have been as nice.

    U2 are i think the second biggest selling irish artist, nowhere near the best band though imo.

    The only other irish album that plays true from start to finish. A great album by an irish band.
