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)

U2 - With Or Without You 

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

With Or Without You Lyrics

There is ABSOLUTELY no contest between U2 and Coldplay or any other band whatsoever!! I love Coldplay as well, they're brilliant themselves, but U2 wins hands down. But then we all have our own opinions on our music and own taste of music.
