I think the next album (or the one after that) will be their last. So I give them 1 or 2 new albums before they will quit. And I hope they will quit in style.
U2's place in musical history is already there. They were the band of the eighties, actually were the band of the nineties too (although there were enough competitors) and they kept innovative in the 21th century, with, hopefully, NLOTH being a good example for that.
U2 is a strange band: You'll love them of you'll hate them. Many will say U2 is overrated, many others will say U2 is underrated. For myself, I think U2 is very special. They made some great music troughout their career with highlights and with moments going downhill.
But the fact that they're still relevant today (in my eyes), that they are awesome when playing live and that they're still together after more than 30 years (quite unique) makes them great and historical for me.
