Best Benefit Performances: No. 2

Bono

Who: U2
What: 'Bad'
Where: Live Aid (London)
When: July 13, 1985

Until Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof came calling, U2 was merely the little Irish quartet that could. Once mullet-flapping Bono showed the crowd at Wembley Stadium that he could save the world and woo women with the same song, the "Best Live Band in the World" was officially born.

U2 is the best live band EVER, no one can do something like they've been doing on the last 25 years...and also it's one of the 3 most important bands on rock n' roll history. There's no doubt about it.

U2 IS THE BEST. THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. IF MORE BANDS AND SO CALLED FAMOUS PEOPLE USED THEIR MONEY LIKE THIS BAND DOES, THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE. U2 ROCKS!!!

U2 is one of the worst, most boring bands in the world. Their music makes me feel absolutely nothing. Now the Eagles or Pink Floyd make you feel good.
