U2

A rock band from Dublin, Ireland. U2 was formed in 1976 and is one of the most popular, successful, and influential bands in the world in history. As of 2016, they have twenty-two Grammy awards — more than any other band in the world. The band owes its appearance to Larry Mullen, who placed a note on a school bulletin board looking for members for a rock band. Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keys, and vocals), and Adam Clayton (bass guitar) responded to the advertisement. Since then, the band's lineup has remained unchanged. U2 gained worldwide recognition and the status of the most popular band in the world after the release of the album The Joshua Tree in 1987. In 2005, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
