Never been keen on U2. New Order used to be alright but find their recent stuff to be very same-y, IMHO. Heard 'Waiting for the Sirens Call' on the radio the other day, only for the chorus to 'Krafty' (one of their other singles off the album) to start playing in my head. |

Used to be great but went downhill after The Joshua Tree and are now crap but....) - Unforgettable Fire Can't believe no-one's mentioned New Order who were revolutionary - Subculture/1963/ True Faith/Blue Monday |

actually Pat no I don't - I think they had a few iffy albums in the 90s, but their last two have been very good IMHO, and had good commercial and critical success. Saw them in Manchester a few months ago, brilliant. |

Yeah Paul, Do you think U2 are going downhill? Seems they have been at the top a very long time, it happens to all the greats eventually. I'm not a big fan like some of their stuff. I know they command huge following and loyality. Pat x |
