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)
