My record collection is split about evenly into three boxes:
motown/oldies, 70s rock/early punk/new wave, and modern
(hardcore/post-hardcore). It's about an even split.

They've been around a long time, and they've gone through some
changes. "Classic U2" is a perfectly reasonable way to refer to
their early music. It doesn't mean "Classic rock". Personally, I
think "I Will Follow" was the last decent thing they did. :-)
