I know this is a little off the extreme sports subject, but me and a mate have been engaged in an ongoing argument; is U2 a rock band or are they pop?

I'm arguing rock Tongue

I'd say that they started out as a Rock band - full of passion and creativity and then Bono tried to save the world. It all went downhill from there and became standard Pop Rock.

I'd say Pop Rock.

Led Zeppelin / Radiohead / Guns N' Roses / Nirvana - The Real Deal Smile

Wikipedia says "U2 are a ROCK band from Dublin, Ireland". I rest my case Wink

Ahhhh, but by the same fountain of knowledge that is Wikipedia - they are also referred to as Pop Rock along with Bryan Adams, Billy Ocean, Def Leppard, and Bon Jovi.

Okay then... if we were to give it a clearly defined definition... "ROCK" or "POP" (ie: just one, and not a combination of the two) then which would it be?

I'd still say Rock, and besides they where leather don't they, sure sign of a Rock band!

There's also the guitar - another sign of a rock band, although none of the members have had a bad drug habit I'm aware of

Just listened to 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and that's definitely a rock song!

Depends which song you listen too, some seem to be rock and others pop.
