Hell, AC/DC has made an entire career from three chords. Of course, they're the best three chords, but still, it's been enough to last a quarter century or so, and some 17 albums.

The Edge from U2 also made a killing playing 3 cords!

#8 Yeah, but I can stand to listen to AC/DC. I have hated everything U2 has done since Live at Red Rocks. I bought Joshua Tree, listened once, hated it, and haven't been able to tolerate a single thing they've recorded since. At least with AC/DC, it's pretty much the same stuff...just a matter of how long you can listen at one time.

The most popular blues/rock progression only uses three chords.

More than that and it gets a little too artsy!!!!

Knowing chords is one thing though........execution, phrasing, riffing, etc is another!!!!

The sad part is that U2's early, angry stuff rocked. Then they turned into the Wimpiest, Whiniest Band This Side of The Cure.

^True. Now they appeal to the masses. In other words, they suck so hard they blow.

^That Joshua Tree **** was so bad it gave me a headache...........talk about pablum for the masses.

Easily the WORST music ever recorded.

I guess Irish angst can be inspirational.........until you get some money. Then you start recording pure crap.

U2 deserves a death sentence for recording "Where the Streets have No Name".
