U2, definately U2. They came up with one song (and a simple one at that) that capture the spirit of the moment, and since then keep shovelling shit "songs" with about 4 different power cords.

Bill Bailey, in his magnificent Half Troll show, simulates a technical problem at a U2 concert...true, so true.


what!!?? are you kidding me??? how is that possible!!

really... you're in serious problems dude (lol!)

u2 are really really good, not as Travis, but they're magnificent!

Because of this:"erikausagi " or have I missed your point?
The adjective "vasco" (Basque) is actually Euskari, if that's what you mean (at least I've learnt something from my tiem in Spain).

Yeah. So true. I mean, look at one of their most famous songs: "The Man Who Sold The World"; it's a David Bowie cover, for God's sake!

Another question, but that is a genuine questionand not a rhetorical one, is: were they seen as "legends" (again) before their lead singer shat himself to death?

I think for what they achieved they would be seen as certainly very influential and possibly even pioneers. I don't agree that 'The Man Who Sold The World' would be considered as one of their most famous, although the MTV Unplugged gig that it came from was certainly one of their most memorable times, if only because Kurt looked a brittle mess.
