U2
REM
Grateful Dead (ok, I guess it's about the drugs)
Dave Matthews Band
Sting
Coldplay
Radiohead
The Who
Those bands have a cult like following for reasons unbeknownst to me. I'm not saying they're a bunch of "no-talent ass-clowns" (to quote a character named Michael Bolton in Office Space referring to the singer of the same name), but I just can't get why they're as popular as they are for as long as they've been.
As far as Bono... A good friend of mine worked for MTV. He's met and interacted with a ton of famous musicians and other celebrities. He said Bono was easily the most pretentious douche bag he's ever met. Second place (David Lee Roth) wasn't even remotely close.
