Like voting for no anesthesia tooth extraction or fucking your ugly sister.

 

[Swaye]

I did say ugly before anyone gets lippy.

 

[YellowSnow]

I get the U2 "hate" to some degree and I myself have a love / hate relationship with them. All that said, Jake Browing sucks, and I do think they are prolly a top 4 band in this era.

The only U2 cover that will ever matter.

I like Weezer just fine but they aren’t anywhere close to U2 by any metric

Ditto, but they are close by one "measure"...the votes of a bunch of degenerate, Lynyrd Skynyrd, queen and rod fucking Stewart loving frat boys that post in this shit hole site.

U2 going to the final 8. Major black eye for the bored.

Says the guy who equates the Stones with butt rock.

I like both. U2 is definitely bigger, but I listen to Weezer more often.

U2 is really not the band to die on that hill for.

Write in: Limp Bizkit

U2 wins but Weezer gets mad props for Hugh Hefner cameo in the Beverly Hills video.

U2 and soccer. The whole world seems to agree on an absurd level of simplicity. A ball and a grass field suddenly creates a sport. One riff with a synthesizer and a bass player and drummer who wouldn't be hired by an average punk band... Platinum records

fuck this shit. I wasnt born during any of this garbage.
