U2, the biggest music act in the world
U2 - a Dublin, Ireland, rock band - released their first studio album, Boy, in 1980. Of another ten albums, eight have topped the UK charts. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, their latest album, has sold over 12 million copies worldwide and won the Grammy for Album Of The Year.
Bono - vocals and guitar
The Edge - guitar, keyboards and vocals
Adam Clayton - bass guitar
Larry Mullen - drums and percussion
The 80s: 1978 was a jumping point year for the band, finally finding their sound / voice. U2 won a talent contest in 1978: £500 and funds to make a record. Paul McGuinness became the band's manager and U2 released an EP called Three and the single Another Day, the following year. U2 went on to release their first album, Boy, and then more critically acclaimed albums inc': War, The Unforgettable Fire(featuring the song MLK dedicated to Martin Luther King Jr), October and Under a Blood Red Sky. U2 was seen by many as a political band with more "charisma" than any other, they were called "a different kind" of band. After a short break U2 returned with Joshua Tree and American music inspired Rattle and Hum which also gave spark to a movie, of the same name - based on the tour.
The 90s: After promising "to dream it up all over again", they combined their classic rock style with industrial and dance music on new albums. (read all)
