Next on the music agenda is an iconic group from Dublin, Ireland. The amazingly talented U2. The band consists of Bono, The Edge, Adam Claton, and Larry Mullen Jr. The band formed in 1976 and by the mid-1980s had become a top international act, noted for their unique sound, Bono's passionate vocals, and The Edge's textural guitar playing. The members of U2 have collaborated with other musicians, artists, celebrities, and politicians to address issues concerning poverty, disease, and social injustice. When I was young, I got my hands on Achtung Baby and fell in love with it, it's still my favorite U2 album. Among other faves are The Joshua Tree, Rattle & Hum, The Unforgettable Fire, Under A Blood Red Sky, and Zooropa. If you're looking for music with meaning and depth, U2 will not disappoint. Be sure not to miss U2 3D, coming to iMax theaters this year.

U2 is my favorite band of all time. I really want to go see that U2 3D movie! I wonder who I could take?
i love U2. they are by far my favorite band, and i didn't truly discover them until 15 years after they became popular. i love them because they are timeless classics and have been producing amazing music for decades now! three decades! and almost 4! seriously. how many artists can do that? (well, a lot can, but the good ones usually kill themselves before they last 4 decades). anyway, kudos to U2, not only for their amazing music, but for their timeless appeal and their humanitarian work. best concert i ever went to. keep on singin' bono.
