I can go ahead and add this to the "bands everyone likes but i think sux" list

Was good for the 90s, now we have good music so we dont have to listen to 90s nostalgia acts...

Except tier 1 nu metal like limp bizkit or the deftones

I think this deserves its own thread. I'm curious as to why some bands like RHCP, Rolling Stones, and Pearl Jam will ALWAYS be considered "cool" no matter how shitty their recent albums are while bands like U2 and Coldplay who (in their primes) were every bit as good and groundbreaking are constantly hated on and mocked, and whose recent albums (in my opinion) are a cut above what the aforementioned "cool bands" have put out at times.

You could actually argue that U2 has stayed relevant and worked harder/longer to push the envelope than the Rolling Stones did. The Stones have been absolute shite for over 2 decades now and basically mailed in everything they've done since the early 1990's. So why do they get a pass, but U2 does not? I'd argue that "Magic" by Coldplay is one of the top 5 songs of 2014 and is about as daring or cutting edge as anything that band has put out, but nothing.
