. As to U2 (or "the ute" as I heard the late John Cunningham of Relativity once refer to them) they could barely play their instruments 30 plus years ago and they haven't really gotten any more adept at >playing their instruments or composing music since then, perhaps especially "show tunes".

I dunno, the esteemed Mr. Eno seems to think they're interesting and
talented enough to warrant his having worked with them for at least a
decade or so now.  I think the U2 bashing is ill considered and
actually a slight to the intended point of this thread I think.
They're very inventive for a popular band I think and I'm willing to
bet anyone on this list would have a very good time talking gear with
the Edge if they ever had the chance.
I just have a hard time with people slagging off popular musicians for 
what basically seems to be the fact that they're popular; I think its
misplaced.
