GRAMMY AWARD winning U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed
in 1976.
The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead
guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry
Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion).
Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style has evolved throughout
their career, yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive
vocals and the Edge's chiming, effects-based guitar sounds. Their lyrics, often
embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes.
Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several ambitious and
elaborate tours over their career.
The group's fifth album, The Joshua Tree (1987), made them international
superstars and was their greatest critical and commercial success. Topping music
charts around the world, it produced their only number-one singles in the US to
date: "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
U2 have released 14 studio albums and are one of the world's best-selling
music artists, having sold an estimated 150–170 million records worldwide. They
have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, and in 2005, they were
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.
Rolling Stone ranked U2 at number 22 on its list of the "100 Greatest
Artists of All Time".
The band cites the Who, the
Clash, Television, Ramones, the Beatles, Joy Division, Siouxsie and the
Banshees, Elvis Presley,
Patti Smith, and
Kraftwerk as influences. In addition,
Van Morrison has
been cited by Bono as an influence. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame mentioned his
influence on U2. U2 have also worked with and/or had influential
relationships with artists including Johnny Cash,
Green Day, Leonard Cohen,
Bruce
Springsteen, B.B. King, Lou Reed,
Bob Dylan, and Luciano
Pavarotti.
U2 received their first Grammy Award in 1988 for The Joshua Tree,
and they have won 22 in total out of 46 nominations, more than any other group.
These include Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group, Album of the Year, Record
of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Rock Album.
In the UK, U2 have received 7 Brit Awards out of 20 nominations from the
British Phonographic Industry, including five wins for Best International Group.
They were the first international group to win the Brit Award for Outstanding
Contribution to Music. In Ireland, U2 have won 14 Meteor Awards since the
awards began in 2001. Other awards won by the band and their members include one
American Music Award, six MTV Video Music Awards, eleven Q Awards, two Juno
Awards, five NME Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. The band were inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2005. In 2006, all four members of
the band received ASCAP awards for writing the songs "I Still Haven't Found What
I'm Looking For" and "Vertigo".
