Indeed, it was the same in the Lynyrd Skynrd thread... I mean, it's fair to say I don't really like either band but the way in which some people have *serious*, fanatical dislike of something as insignifcant as a rock band???
Bizarre, is all I can say.

I don't think our opinions on this discussion matter...the band gets richer as we speak.
Rolling Stone published fifth-annual list of music’s biggest
moneymakers. It was conducted by taking interviews with record
executives, managers, lawyers and agents. It also uses figures from
Nielsen SoundScan, Pollstar, the Recording Industry Association of
America, Amusement Business/Billboard and other sources. Obviously, U2
comes first with their numerous tours working to their fortune. These
hard working guys deserve this fortune. Congratz U2!
Here are the top 10 richest musicians :
* U2, $154.2 million
* The Rolling Stones, $92.5 million
* Eagles, $63.2 million
* Paul McCartney, $56 million
* Elton John, $48.9 million
* Neil Diamond, $44.7 million
* Jimmy Buffett, $44 million
* Rod Stewart, $40.3 million
* Dave Matthews Band, $39.6 million
* Celine Dion, $38.5 million

Considering that U2, the Stones and the Eagles have to divide their wealth between multiple members, the wealthiest musician would have to be Paul McCartney.That's pretty impressive considering that, as great as he is, he hasn't had a massive selling album in years; although much of his wealth probably comes from touring.

If U2 replaced Bono with someone like Paul Rodgers, they might actually improve. Now how that would work for sales, I've no idea. I don't understand why they're selling now...

I agree. So then stop classifying U2 as not being a rock band.
