Huh, my fault. Your "like coming onto U2start not knowing much about U2" comment mislead me into thinking you were a PJ newbieSorry. Then you're perfectly allowed to hate Sirens. I hate Get On Your Boots and nobody bashes me

Funnily enough after I posted that line I felt iffy about it and how it could be misinterpreted. What I meant was, I know just as much about Pearl Jam as someone who likes U2 coming here would know. Meaning, I've heard their "greatest hits" numerous times, like them, don't really own any of their albums apart from Ten and VS, and don't really know much about the band other than what they say on the PJ20 movie.
Let's be real here, an average U2 fan coming here compared to what we superfans know about U2 is a pretty similar comparison, maybe even more greatly differentiated.
