      Im Gen X and only knew them in their corporate rock phase. Did they ever have a kind of underground stage where they were massively influential like U2 had been?

        I don’t know if it was “underground”, because their second album was very commercially successful, but they definitely did have a fair bit of influence. They were quite well regarded in the early 00s, and then in the late 00s to early 10s a whole bunch of pop-rock acts influenced by them cropped up

    I still love X&Y, it’s a great album

    Which means I get to say the new stuff sucks like every fan of every long-running musical act ever!

    For real though I stopped listening to the new releases long ago, after there were two albums in a row I didn’t care for. It seems popular. Good for the people that like it
