Is U2 a good band?

[LMD]

I feel like their reputation kills them. If not for their reputation as some legendary band, I doubt anyone would have any issue with U2. Their music, in general, is nice filler music. I've yet to really find anything from them that's overly offensive. I don't know if I'd consider them as good as their reputation, but, I don't have any issue with their music. I generally like it. Even their new album, "Songs of Innocence," I generally like. I wouldn't pay money for it, but, its good enough.

So, short answer; yes. They're a good band. Not great. Not legendary. Good.
