U2 are offensively bland.

Have you listened to the musicianship on most of their albums Razor? I know teen-age kids who play in their parents garage(mine) who are better than these cats. Mullins and the bass player are just horrid in keeping the bottom. I used to think Edge had some chops, but has no imagination and plays likes he's bored. A perfect example of a band who no longer take chances, concentrate on composing good music or playing well. And I have seen them live back in 1985 or so, and they just suck big donkey balls.
+10though I think some pretty good song came out of Edge's simple chords structure
This is true but I find that metalheads (and i don't mean you in particular) judge all musicians based on chops and not feel as much. If a guitarist like Edge for example is not technically brilliant in chops then he is not considered talented. Personally I think Edge is talented in his simplicity and says alot more then the majority of metal guitarists who all tend to sound like each other without standing out. The Edge's playing is unique imo. There may be others that sound like him but he was there before them and made it his own. And he didn't have to play a million mph to do it.Not all successful bands are highly talented, nor do all highly talented musicians create good music of their own.
