Excuse me for not announcing my sarcasm; the :-) just slipped off somehow.

Why  sarcastic?  Somehow,  asking for an objective opinion in this newsgroup
seemed  like  such as easy target I couldn't resist (I mean, comparing U2 to
Duran Duran?). Oops, I did it again.

Needless  to say, I greatly prefer U2's music to Duran Duran's. Sorry if the
Duran*2  fans  are offended - I'm not judging people's musical taste. I just
don't  like  that  particular  band. You can't accuse ME of being a snob - I
like Joan Jett! (Should I put a :-) here?)

While  we're  on  the  subject,  I'll  throw  in  my  two cents worth on the
Prince-Hendrix debate. Although I think putting Prince in the same league as
Hendrix (who, as has already been said many times, was a very innovative and
influential  musician) is off-base, I enjoy Prince's music more than most of
the other music currently on the pop charts.
