I am a Bono-hater (like most of us who have to share a country with the twat and his repugnant ego), and it's exactly this self-important, bombastic lyrical masturbation that makes that justified.
"Self-important, bombastic lyrical masturbation." Wow. You have hit the nail on the head, my friend.
Loved LOVED their early stuff. "Boy" took Boston by storm back in the day. I don't know what's happened to them since, but Bono lost me around the time of the giant orange glasses and when, over time, every song became an anthem.
Militant self-righteousness. The exact same thing happened to "M*A*S*H*" over time... but I digress.

Perhaps it's on the 100 greatest covers
