For me that something is the pretentious posing of Bono. He's the biggest blowhard this side of Don Henley. Also, the music itself is deadly boring. Most of their songs are like funeral dirges to my ears.

I rate Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs far ahead of U2 as far as listenability.

I too have a hatred for Bono.

White Stripes, or any involvement of Jack White. Horrible.

I should add:

In high school I had a buddy who loved the Stones. I hated them so much then. He even wrote in my yearbook "to {me}, the ultimate Stones Fan"

Now I'm OK with them.

Hootie and the Blowfish

U2......nobody else come close but firmly entrenched in second place is DMB.

U2 are streaking to victory in this poll !

[Warren Gilmour]

The Beastie Boys....
Kid Rock.....

It's a mad scramble to change the station whenever I hear either one on the radio.

Springteen and the E Street Band. Music for the tone-deaf.
