I once read an article claiming Yeats was the U2 of his time. Without having it in front of me, I can't provide an exact quote, but the sense was "His popularity makes him annoyingly inescapable, but he merits the hype because he really is brilliant."
So U2 and Yeats both have an overwhelming market share, but that's not all. It would almost be easier to list disconnections between them than connections. They own acres of common ground.
