stipe is miles ahead of bozo.... i mean bono, the walking penis.
I agree that Bono is, as a person, something of an unscratchable itch, however in terms of performance he has quite an ability. I don't like saying it anymore than you like hearing it but I'm just being honest.
PEACE

I went to my dad's this weekend. He wanted to have a 'guy's night in' which was going to be cool. But then he stuck in a U2 live DVD. I'm sorry, I love the amount Bono does for charity, but his band and music is just boring, bland and lifeless.
So I'll vote Ed Vedder. Oh, I mean Micheal Stipe.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
I think U2 have more timeless songs although Stipe has that quite strange but very effective way of singing that draws me in more. Although seeing cocnert footage of Bono makes me think he is the better frontman....although he doesn't seem THAT likable as a person.

Have we lost our way tonight?
Have we lost our hope to sorrow?
Feels like were all alone
Running further from what’s right
And there are no more heroes to follow
i like stipe more because i'm more attracted to him than i am to bono.
but thank goodness the music's great, otherwise i could be accused of being shallow
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
well i am as straight as they come so it has nothing to do with attraction in my case....LOL its just bono's messiah complex that irks me a bit. i do however respect his charitable efforts.

Every time he speaks, I feel like I'm hearing from an old friend. He has the one of the most calming voices I could think of.

He ALWAYS wears those ridiculous shades! I know it's his image and all, but when he comes onstage wearing those shades i can't take him seriously. He may do a lot for charity but it's definitely boosted his ego, you can tell just by watching him.
Stipe is very enigmatic, and it draws me in when i listen to REM albums or watch the live DVDs. He's a much better frontman, and last year in Manchester he sounded phenomonal!

I never really cared for either of them untill they changed their sound a little
U2 - Never disliked them, just found them boring untill Achtung Baby -
REM- Hated them - Untill Monster
Now U2 - I went back and am a fan of everything
Now REM- Still not crazy about older stuff, but I do like them
So, U2 wins the vote
Untill their will grows tired
bono have become too cliche for me...
