SitiWanMahani - U2 are
an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in
1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar,
keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry
Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion).
U2's early sound was rooted
in post-punk but
eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular
music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a
sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's timbrally
varied guitar sounds and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often
embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical
concerns
U2 have released 12 studio
albums and are among the all-time best-selling music artists,
having sold more than 150 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 in its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time"
and has labelled them the "Biggest Band in the World". Throughout
their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human
rights and philanthropic causes, including Amnesty International, the ONE/DATA
campaigns, Product Red, and The Edge's Music
Rising . . .
