22. U2 would be nowhere without the Comsat Angels
Go listen to the first two CSA albums ("Waiting For A Miracle" and "Sleep No More") and you can see EXACTLY where Edge stole his reverb-soaked sound.

"Oh, but U2 didn't know who CSA were?" Yes, U2 DID know who CSA were. In fact, the two groups toured together before U2 hit it big-- and a VERY attentive Edge was closely watching Steven Fellows much of the time.

Too bad the CSA never got any of the media publicity U2 has gotten. It's a damned crying shame when you compare their catalogs, too.
