Their first few albums were good, saw them at US 83 Festival and they were fantastic, their last good song was In Gods Country in '87 (still have 12" single).
Not long after that they began to suck, then they eventually turned into complete crap, can't listen to them anymore, end of story.

lovely homage...not sure why such disdain. I like U2 but don't feel the need to see them in concert again, and last good album was All That You Can't Leave Behind which was excellent.

Imagine U2 fans on a U2 board that are fans of the early Stones:
After Between The Buttons the Stones lost it: what was vibrant enthusiastic blues and fired up renditions of rhythm and blues music was lost after their sudden change into Bob Dylan Land - they imitated The Beatles' Sgt Peppers... extremely poorly and never recovered.
And...
They have some good albums. Their early stuff is vital. When they did Jumpin' Jack Flash they had reinvented themselves. But by 1972 they were done. They started putting out rambling albums, including a double album - twice the rambling! But nothing past 1971 is worth anything.
And...
What they did before Jumpin' Jack Flash is a waste of time. Teeny bopper crap. Then when that didn't work they went on a wannabe Beach Boys/Bob Dylan/Beatles trip. None of that worked. Poseurs!
Then they got even worse! They jumped into disco! How embarrassing!
Someone with a stabbing sense of humor...
Someone needs to congratulate the Stones for being together for 300 years and applaud their pathetic attempts at staying modern and relevant.

Why bother with U2 fans on a U2 board, when you can read variations of it all right here from the genuine Stones fans?

An oldie, but a goodie:
Q: What is the difference between God and Bono?
A: God doesn't sit around all day, thinking that he's Bono.
