Not everyone thinks Grammy's mean anything, but it helps, and it's hard to downplay 22 grammy wins.

And the 'personal taste' argument doesn't help determine who's right or wrong. And it doesn't work on metal heads/ headbangers etc.

But I do like that U2 has a limited bunch of fans, rather than being mainstream idols.

Originally posted by Risto:IMO, i am a huge fan. Maybe not mainstream, but they are commercial at least. Nothing wrong with that. Maybe i was confusing

Isnt globally very popular music 'mainstream' by definition?

When I hear the word 'mainstream', I imagine the music played on radios and popular with masses. We, U2 fans, are a huge mass of people, but no way there's as much of us as those who listen to pop, R'n'B, rap and hip-hop which are the most played music genres on radios. No-one except of us listens to U2. Yes, people know them, but they don't listen to them.
