The question sounds retarded, but I'm looking for an alternative to rap right now. Rap isn't cutting it when I need to calm down right now, and I like U2's comforting beats. Who are other artists/bands/songs that I should download for soothing type music?
 
Jake Johnson, Guster these are just two that I like alot. and U2 is my fav band. I love all there music. Try those bands out, i doubt wil be dissapointed

U2 is rock.

For other stuff in a similar style, check out Jack Johnson (as was already pointed out), Coldplay, and maybe Radiohead.

How is Jack Johnson, Coldplay and Radiohead at all related in musical styles?

Who's Jake Johnson?

U2 = the 0wnage
 
Rock taken as a whole though they have successfully dabbled in a more techno/dance/mix sound with a good number of their songs, but they do rock best and it's what they go back to in the end. U2 owns.
 
U2 is alternative (or atleast quite a few of their works are)
I think they aslo won a couple of Grammy's in Alternative vategory

I find that not many groups fit into just one genre... or two... or maybe even three.

I'm going to assume that you're talking about real bands here and not the prepackaged N*Sync, Blink 182, etc bands that are massaged to churn out the exact same song every few months for the radio to play. Those bands surely fit into small, neat little genres.

 
U2 is basically Rock, but it's mostly Original.

Their history is quite entertaining in itself, they were a band before they could sing or play instruments. They thought it would be cool to be a Rock band so they made one! How shizzled is that?

U2 is certainly one of, if not the, the best bands in the last 20+ years. I love them, also love Tom Petty(and the Heart Breakers), REM, Tragically Hip, and other Original types.
 
thank god for these posts. the other thread of what bands suck or whatever was getting me sick. U2 bashers. idiots. U2 ownz all.

U2 IS the best band in the past 20 years, for sure. they're probably the best band ever, but i'm not familiar with music before 20 years ago.

i would consider U2 a blend between rock and alt.

Pop sucked, but most other stuff was awesome. Joshua Tree was the best album ever in history.
 
Man, that's hard.. no one really sounds like U2, they're very distinctive. they've got loads of music to keep you busy, though 🙂

I know, check out David Bowie (His new one-heathen is good, grows on you😉) and maybe Sting?
