Ok, maybe thats harsh, but but seriously, I don't know many people that actually ever owned a U2 album... they (like the washed up Metalica guys) need some revenue stream to sustain their lifestyle. I don't understand how U2 got so famous... I can honestly say I am all over the place musically and like some of everything, but I cannot see why U2 is popular other than a LOT of marketing (aligning themselves with companies that put them on TV and causes that get public sympathy). Radiohead, although not one of my favorite bands, come across as true artists who are all about their art in many ways.

Re: to my mind...
Not personal Chillout, this is just directed towards that general mentality... 'A Rant About The Music Industry and DRM'
Thats because U2 sucks...
