But U2 isn't a modern rock band, really. If I were to judge them solely on their modern work, then I'd vote Sonic Youth. In fact, I regret my choice. U2's best stuff is 15 years old, if not more.
Oh, and above I was refering to Pop, by the way.
Like REM, U2 just barely met the qualification specs I set for this thing. The title "Modern Rock" really was to keep things seperate from the Classic Rock tourney.
