You do not seem to understand my post. U2 does not advertise themselves as a Christian rock band. They don't do that because they don't need to do that. They are good enough to sell their music anyway. Christian rock bands that are complete worthless garbage advertise themselves as "Christian" in order to sell to people who wish to make sure that they are avoiding "bad" influences. If they were actually good, they would not need to advertise themselves as "Christian." If they were actually good, then people would buy their music without such a gimmick, without that special advertising to get into a niche market.
That's about ridiculous, they are telling people who they are and what they represent. If what you say were true the rock bands would have never had to call themselves rock band, their music should have stood on it's own merit and wouldn't have been pointed directly at a new audience, Kids. U2 doesn't hide the fact of Christian belief either. As I stated earlier there have been many musically talented rock bands, morally most leave not much to be desired for the Christian.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
