10 Most Hated Classic Rock Bands Of All Time
4. U2
When it comes to discussing the biggest bands of the 80's, it goes without saying how much U2 have left their mark on the decade. Even outside of the more grandiose tunes of their peak, the band still had a major amount of talent in other genres like on the electronic and industrial moments of Achtung Baby. While the songs may be to die for, rock fans still have trouble coming to terms with the band's more pompous efforts.
Whenever you try to get down to the problems with U2, most people are quick to point how important they make themselves out to be. Though the group has made their fair share of classics to back up their claims, it's one thing to be called a great rock band and for you to call yourselves the best in the world. Despite the more self-aggrandizing moments in the band's career, some of their endeavors outside of music have also put them in some hot water.
From doing more pompous charity events to putting their new record on people's phones WITHOUT PERMISSION, the band have developed a certain subsect of haters who would be happy to punch Bono right in the middle of his old-man sunglasses. The music may not be half bad, but the damage has already been done.
