How else would Miley Cyrus have gotten so big, unless of course we are letting the prepubescent group determine greatness. I couldn't agree with you on U2, nor could I totally agree on longevity, because in my opinion, The Beatles are the "greatest bad ever." I do think there is a little to your theory on longevity, because bands like U2, Aerosmith, and the Rolling Stones are on a totally different level than LFO, as a matter of fact I threw up a little in my mouth just mentioning them in the same sentence. Even though I still consider The Beatles as "the greatest," The Rolling Stones would be my next choice, and although U2 probably doesn't rank in my top 25 favorites, I still have respect for them, because they have done so much, and influenced many...maybe that is the key to greatness, how many people you can influence.
