I think it's a shame that if you go outside the mainstream media, U2 are thought of more as a joke than anything else these days. Granted, they are suffering from the world's worst case of overexposure (Time asks "Can Bono save the world?" Please!). But that should hardly take away from their near-unparalleled body of brilliant work. Even something as recent as "Beautiful Day" is a great piece of pop music. I pulled out their seminal album War to listen to in the shower this morning, and it struck me as sad that a band this talented has been relegated to being the butt of jokes for today's indie snobs. I suspect that a lot of people slagging them off grew up listening to The Unforgettable Fire, like I did.

And they're doing the atomic bomb
They don't know where the dance comes from
And they're doing the atomic bomb
They want you to sing along
