    I was never a big U2 fan but I think their first 4 albums are good. I particularly like The Unforgettable Fire. But they can't compete with The Who.

    I had the pleasure of seeing the WHO, with and without Moon- but not seen U2
    I can't explain why Behind Blue eyes of the pictures of Lily lie a happy jack.
    I think those of my generation would join together with me; anyway anyhow anywhere, to say long live rock for the WHO

    U2 had some forays into techno and experimental music in the 90's, a couple albums with Brian Eno at the helm as producer. I think U2's nods to neo-psychedelia are essentially about similar to The Who's nods to psychedelia. It just so happened that when The Who incorporated psychedelic elements in their music, they were kind of growing with the experimentation, as where when U2 did it, it was coming off some of their most commercially viable work and they had already been around for a decade, so it probably didn't seem as organic.

    The Who vs. The Stones...

     
  10. They both wrote a shitload of terrible music. There are some good songs. I'd probably choose the Who if it came down to it.
     
  11. I mean as far as Who vs. U2 goes. I'd pick the Stones, even though they make me kind of sick, too.

    There's No doubt that the Stones have longevity - and when filming the Pirates of the Caribbean Keith seems had an advantage of obtaining a bottle or two of the fountain of youth - the Guy at 75 is still Rocking it out there.
    They also have a stronger back catalogue,
    Having lost 2/4 original member,s and Who suffered from ill-advised judgement on book writing aren't as strong in this comparison, but still have it over the Irish lads IMO

    I don't like the Stones. They're clearly good and good songs but I just don't feel anything much when I listen. I'm not keen on Jagger's voice.

    Just like the Who can't compete with The Stones and the Stones can't compete with The Doors :sunglasses:
