U2.

Wed Apr 12, 2006 5:33 pm

U2, but at least this time they're not matched against an overly sucky opponent.

Wed Apr 12, 2006 5:56 pm

Bon Jovi! I love Bon Jovi! *dances*

Wed Apr 12, 2006 7:30 pm

U2, Because Bon Jovi needs a haircut.

Wed Apr 12, 2006 9:36 pm

Bon Jovi definitely, because I love to sing the chorus from Livin' on a Prayer.

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh we're halfway there
AaaaaaaaaAhhhhhhh livin' on a prayer!
Take my hand, and we'll make it I swear
AaaaaaaaaAhhhhhhh livin' on a prayer!

U2 are very good, but Bon Jovi owns them

Thu Apr 13, 2006 12:22 am

U2 > Bon Jovi.

Yeah, I vote U2.

All of them, or just Jon? :P

I've recently come to the realization that I hate Bon Jovi. His voice grates on my nerves. Definitely U2 this week.

Thu Apr 13, 2006 6:20 pm

U2. I like their style more and I onlt like a couple of Bon Jovi's songs.

Thu Apr 13, 2006 9:19 pm

Bon Jovi.
They still look good for their age ... U2 on the other hand ...

Fri Apr 14, 2006 6:32 am

Bon Jovi - some of the songs are just so catchy.

Fri Apr 14, 2006 2:51 pm

U2, because I've never actually heard any of Bon Jovi's songs.

Same as him, but completely the opposite. Bon Jovi, because I've never heard any of U2's songs. Actually, I probably have, but either they weren't memorable enough for me to remember, or I was drunk. Hard to tell :P
