U2 turn 50 today and are celebrating with some events in their hometown of Dublin and a new album. How do Bono and the lads stack up among the all-time greats?

I have tremendous respect for what Taylor Swift has achieved, but I think she is at a bit of a crossroads. Diehard fans will clearly love this new stuff, but critical response is mixed to negative - the bonus material is of little consequence, and a lot of the themes overall are just covering old ground. Probably needs to regroup and rethink.

Still annoyed at them for installing that album in everyone’s phone a few years ago 😂

Clearly a good band to have such longevity but I just cannot stand them or the music they make, for some reason. Just not my cup of tea at all.

Painfully overrated for me. There are a few tracks I like, but find the hype too much, especially since it feels like a lifetime since their last decent album.

When was their last decent album ? 2000 - All That You Can’t Leave Behind ?

That sounds about right. Nothing earth shattering lately although I like the new song they just released yesterday

Personally my favourite moment of theirs was their concert in Springfield https://youtu.be/M_inofNi2uc?is=fwlyVl7__Am1Icar
