EDIT:

 

Beatles won "only" 7 Grammys

 

U2 won 22 of them... :uhoh:

 

but Grammys suck we all know :smug:

u2 have achieved things the beatles never did - longevity, sticking together, breaking new ground as a live act, and uniting their fans to impact the body politik.

 

i hope in the long run coldplay will be similar to u2 in this respect.

But if you include solo Beatles work etc.....

LMFAO DUDE.

 

Where did you find all that?!?!

 

 

 

 

.....................I hope you didn't know that off the top of your head...

 

 

:P

Who doesn't? :laugh4:

 

And you should know that I still respect and quite like U2.

I still think Radiohead should have made it to the finals... I honestly thought they would win the whole thing. And I still think alot of people got the Beatles here out of guilt rather than genuine support.

 

But you know, if you were going to offer me a choice between listening to a U2 album and a Beatles one, I'd probably go for the Beatles. I do like U2, and I don't know much about British invasion stuff, but I almost always love stuff from that era. Plus, Here Comes the Sun is one of my all-time favorite songs.

OMG! VOTE BEATLES!!!!!

Oh wow.

 

 

 

This is highly amusing, cheers Nik for putting this up. Really.

 

 

I noticed there's like a lull in people voting for U2, then suddenly it kicks back up... ahaha wtf?

its 48 all!
