admin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:01:43 +0000

If you’re even slightly familiar with the music world then you must have heard the name of the Irish rock sensation, U2. This band was first formed back in 1976, back when all the band mates were in secondary school and they have stayed together ever since. Now this band consisting of Bono (Paul Hewson), The Edge (Dave Evans), Dik Evans and Adam Clayton were first named as “Feedback” in their earlier years.

In 1977, the group changed their name to “The Hype”. Now Dik Evans has almost become the “odd man” in the band. So at a concert which was a farewell one, Dik walked off the stage and the four had finished the gig as we now know them, as U2. The first ever single this band released was just in Ireland and it was called “Three”, followed by “Another Day”.

Their first ever international “11 O’ Clock Tick Tock” and their debut album was titled “Boy”. The second one was called “October”, released in 1981 and had themes which were spiritual. The next album on their list was called “War” which was released in 1983. This included the hit song “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. Now this album also saw the bands first hit called “New Years Day”, which was the bands first hit international.

The next one released was called “The Unforgettable Fire”, which was out inn 1984. Now this album had a sound which was well orchestrated. Now the next album they released was called “The Joshua Tree” in 1987. Now this single has the hit song “With or Without You” and the album had becomes the fastest selling one in the British history. Now this helped the band even get 2 Grammys.
Now the next album they released was called “Achtung Baby”. Now this album was a bit darker than the rest of its albums. Now if you look at this album from a commercial point, it actually was one of the best and successful ones and it helps in reinvention of the band.

Now the next album was called “Zooropa” and was released in 1993 followed by another album called “Original Soundtracks 1” in 1995, “Pop” in 1997 and “All tgar you cant leave behind” in 2000 which was another masterpiece. Now the next album was called “How to dismantle an atomic bomb” which came out in 2004. Now the bands most recent achievement was called “No line on the horizon” which was released in 2009.
