Song Contest Part XXII, Host: TubbsFarquhar, Theme: Horses, Votes Due: Sunday 9pm AEDT

You are a tough judge if you don't rate U2 as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

Not many rock bands have had so many great albums over 20 years.

Boy, October, War, Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop. All That You Can't Leave Behind.

They peaked with Achtung Baby, that is in my Top 10 albums of all time, a game changing album.

My Mum loves U2 and she and my Dad have seen them live. I grew up listening to their biggest hits and Mum liked random ones like "Lemon". Definitely appreciate their 90s/00s stuff and they have some incredible songs that still make me tear up ("Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own").

I also believe U2 wouldn't have such a negative reception if Bono wasn't such a sanctimonious knob.

That song the fly is the best song I've ever heard

I don't think Bono is as sanctimonious or pretentious as he gets made out to be, he still has a down to earth sense of humour.

I saw him hanging out with Mick Jagger where they joked about starting a lead singer magazine like all the guitar magazines.
