In England, the last thing the average person remembers is It's My Life and that was 20 years ago. I guess America may remember Who Says? but still that's 15 years ago. Nothing from the last few albums have been in the consience of the general public.
U2 however, seems to retain a lot more respect, probably because they were always seen as a more respectable band even back in the day.

I agree with you - but I would say Have A Nice Day was the last single even average persons might remember. At least it's the case with people I know.
To me there's nothing wrong with Jon wanting to stay relevant. The way he tries to just annoys me.
I don't expect them to write another Slippery/KTF/TD. Those days are 1. gone and 2. would tank big due to today's music.
What I expect is some creativity instead of the same formula over and over again. I wasn't a big fan of We Don't Run when it came out. But it was the first song in more than a decade that had a fresh sound and still being Bon Jovi (at least what's left of them). Songs like A Teardrop To The Sea or Who Would You Die For gave the same impression. If they had followed that direction with 2020 I'd be much more satisfied with their output. But what I've heard so far it's the same stuff we already heard a thousand times.
Btw. by saying that - Limitless, to me, is more of a We Don't Run copy than another It's my Life clone. So I'm not that critical about that song although I haven't listened to it more than once after its release (and once more when a radio station played it while I drove in my car).
