There are few groups that can match the likes of War, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, Rattle & Hum, The Unforgettable Fire, All That You Can't Leave Behind and No Line on the Horizon.
Go ahead, hate Bono and despise their success.
You have zero credibility.

U2 is overrated and Bono is a bit pompous, but yea, they're definitely not the worst. Coldplay too. There's plenty of "successful" bands that make the most absolute shitty music to really consider those two among the worst bands ever. And Creed - well if their "message" didn't get in the way, they may not have been that bad of a band. FWIW My Own Prison isn't too bad and remembering some other songs on that album (a friend borrowed it from a Christian friend of his :P), overall it wasn't horrible. They remind me of like the lower echelon of Pearl Jam stuff.
