They are a quality band. I'm not a massive fan, but some of their stuff is undeniably terrific (With Or Without You, Still Havn't Found What I'm Looking For, love those tracks).
The fact that they've been overhyped in the past isn't really their fault.
Best Live band I have seen, also on last tour some great support acts. First saw them back in 1984 and the last time was last year. Roll on the next tour! I like the fact that all the albums they have released are different and they are prepared to try something different. I cant believe that they have been going for nearly 30 years now, first album came out in 1980!
On the last tour got to see the following bands supporting them :-
The Thrills/Snow Patrol in Brussels
Athlete/The Doves Twickenham night 1
Ash/Idlewild Twickenham night 2
Interpol/Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at Hampden Park
The Killers/Starsailor in Cardiff
