Certainly can't argue about RHCP. They're one of my favorites as well, though you're going overboard with saying they're far superior to U2.
In reality, RHCP has demonstrated very little growth. Where's the artistic reach, especially compared to U2's versatility? The majority of U2's albums have been daring and different; most RHCP albums sound alike (that's not necessarily a bad thing).
This ultimately boils down to our opinions. But anybody who lists U2 among the "worst ever" or hates them just because of Bono's arrogance can't be taken seriously. Like 'em or not, U2 has emerged with quality, diversified albums time and again -- receiving equal admiration from fans and critics alike.
