I am not a fan of U2, in fact I rather abhor everything they stand for and most of their music, but I'd never try to deny what they mean to music, and most other people don't seem to either.

I don't think you'll find any musical act that isn't hated on by some segment of the population.
In fact, the more popular or "important" (for lack of a better word) an act is, the more vocal the hate will be from that segment.
