U2 - Complete CDs Collection

U2 are a rock band from Dublin, Ireland. Formed in 1976, the band consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar) and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). U2 have consistently been one of the most popular acts in the world since the mid-1980s. The band has sold upwards of 170 million albums worldwide,[1] and they have won 22 Grammy awards, the most of any rock artist.[2]
U2 formed in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. By the mid-1980s the band released several successful albums and developed a devoted international following, largely from extensive touring. U2 became noted for its anthemic sound that emphasised Bono's vocals and The Edge's textural approach to guitar playing, as well as the band's political and social activism. The band reached a level of mega-stardom with their highly praised 1987 release The Joshua Tree. The band's transformation through their 1991 album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour was in response to criticism of their image, their own sense of musical stagnation, and the dance and alternative music revolutions. This experimentation, in both recording and performance, continued for the rest of the 1990s.
In the early years of the 21st century, U2 have pursued a more traditional sound while maintaining influences from their previous musical explorations. They continue to enjoy the highest level of commercial and critical success. The band is active in human rights and social justice causes, such as Amnesty International, Make Poverty History, the ONE Campaign, Live Aid, Live 8, Bono's DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade in Africa) campaign, and The Edge's Music Rising.U2 are a rock band from Dublin, Ireland.
