Dublin, Ireland (1976 – present)
U2 is an Irish rock band which formed in 1976 in Dublin, Ireland. Since the band’s formation, they have consisted of Bono (real name Paul Hewson) (vocals, guitar, harmonica), The Edge (real name David Evans) (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass) and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums, percussion). The band is the biggest selling alternative rock act of all time, having sold 140 million albums worldwide as of 2008. They have won 22 Grammys and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. As of 2009, they have released 12 albums and 58 singles.
There is also a Japanese doujin atrist from Twilight Frontier named U2.
Foundation: The band originally formed in 1976 when Larry Mullen posted a bulletin in his school asking for musicians to form a rock band. The band then consisted of the four current members plus three additional guitarists, including The Edge’s brother Dick Evans (later a member of Virgin Prunes), Ivan McCormick and Peter Martin. According to legend, Bono originally auditioned as a guitarist but couldn’t play. He auditioned as lead vocals, but really couldn’t sing. He was, however, incredibly enthusiastic about the band, extremely charismatic, a great writer, and was strangely able to reach the audience when the band played, something he is known for still today. Bono will reach out into the crowd and dance or mess with someone in the crowd at every concert. He was kept as a member. The extra guitarists would soon leave the band and the group would go through the names “Feedback ” and “The Hype” before finally settling on U2.

@ Bolshevized - The reason it barely scratched the UK top 40 ws becasue there was no CD release. I couldnt believe it when I looked for it in HMV, guy told me that they had all been canceled at the last minute. Big mistake on the part of whoever decides that kinda stuff, the record company I would asume. Remember, the bulk of U2 fans still prefer CDs.

Worst band ever? They're a pretty important band dickhole. I don't like Elvis but i acknowledge his role in shaping modern music. Maybe if you went to the ICP shoutbox you'd be justified.
