Negativland's version says all that needs to be said on the subject rather well.
I remember when that horrible Joshua Tree album came out (after the Unforgetable Fire, which was really quite good.) I was djing at KUGS in Bellingham, and put the new single "With or Without You" on, and less than two minutes into the song, I just stopped it in disgust. It takes a pretty abyssmal song to get me to do that on air.
