U2


U2 is a rock band from Dublin, Ireland. The band consists of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.
The band formed in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. By the mid-1980s, the band had become a top international group. Their success as a live group was greater than their success at selling records until their 1987 album The Joshua Tree. U2 responded to the dance and alternative rock revolutions, and they reinvented themselves with their 1991 album Achtung Baby! and the Zoo TV Tour. Since 2000, U2 have pursued a more traditional sound.
U2 have sold more than 140 million albums worlwide and have won 22 Grammy Awards.

Two songs by U2. The first one, With or Without you, a ballad:
