U2 rehearsing next tour in vancouver

[Gay Boy Roberto]

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — It was definitive arena rock, loud and clear, filling Pacific Coliseum here with surging sound. The Edge blared a distorted two-chord guitar riff, Larry Mullen Jr.'s tom-toms and cymbals landed hard on the backbeat, Adam Clayton's bass throbbed down below, and Bono was unleashing "woo-oohs" in exultant falsetto. U2 has taken over the coliseum for a month of full-scale rehearsal to assemble its "Innocence and Experience" tour, which starts at Rogers Arena here on May 14, and the band was charging through "Elevation." The stage was an austere geometry of fluorescent tubes; the song was triumphant. "Wow, that's four years since we played that?" Bono said as the last chord faded. "Not bad!"

U2 is overrated.

Well it wasn't much better than spam.



U2 is at best a mediocre band that has for some inexplicable reason garnered a rep that goes way beyond anything they have produced.

Occasionally Renee gets it right.



Other overrated yet hugely popular musical performers (to speak against them is official heresy);



Eric Clapton

The Band

Steely Dan

Abba

Genesis AND Phil Collins

Fleetwood Mac

Andre Rieu (natch)

The Eagles

Air Supply

The Bee Gees



Probably more, but that should be enough to rankle you MOR Music-while-you-iron lovers.

add the Rutles - legendary band, but highly over-rated
