Why do people think U2 are the best band in the world?
...when they aren't even the best band in Ireland?
I've heard it said.
@TonyR that information is completely irrelevant.
It's not people I've met who have said it - it's how people on TV talk about them, they're always described as being the "world's greatest band" and all that bumf. Maybe it's just on English TV.

Maybe not THE best, but they have stood the test of time on a consistent basis. Most of the popular bands have 1-2 good albums and then disappear into oblivion.

The people that you heard it from might think they are the best band in the world. It just depends on the person.
