Re: Are the Who important? Is ROCK important?

I liked U2 very much by the time of Boys, Unforgetable
Fire and Joshua Tree (the classic one), but deslike
them after Zoo. They are good anyway, of course.

I always think that U2 've had his roots on Who, and
that his name were an hidden homenage to the horrible
'oo - the 'oo #2 - U2. 

I didn't know that Bono had made the iduction of The
Who into the Hall of Fame. Anyone has the speech? I
would like to see.
