New Wave Outpost Forum

I don't post in the section that much at all, matter of fact I think I've only started one thread in here (Late Night TV: Leno, et al); however, I just saw this Internet article on bands that would not exist if U2 never existed, or pretend to be like U2.

The writer of the article below thinks these famous bands are really U2 copycats! What are your thoughts??? Discuss.

The blogger must really hate those bands because none except for Coldplay could be called U2 copycats.

Yeah I saw this too and I agree with gpow. If anything I think Radiohead has been influencing U2's later work. U2 would of killed to have written OK Computer or Kid A.
