U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed in 1976. Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's chiming, effects-based guitar sounds. Bono's lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several elaborate tours over their career. U2 are one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold an estimated 150-170 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 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists Of All Time".

Rattle And Hum [Album]

10 October 1988

'Rattle And Hum' is a hybrid live/studio album by U2, and a companion to the rockumentary film directed by Phil Joanou. Following the breakthrough success of the band's previous studio album, 'The Joshua Tree', the Rattle And Hum project captures their continued experiences with American roots music on tour, further incorporating elements of blues rock, folk rock, and gospel music into their sound. Although Rattle and Hum was intended to represent the band paying tribute to legendary musicians, some critics accused U2 of trying to place themselves amongst the ranks of such artists. Critical reception to both the album and the film was mixed; one Rolling Stone editor spoke of the album's "excitement"; another described it as "misguided and bombastic". Facing creative stagnation and a critical backlash to Rattle And Hum, U2 reinvented themselves in the 1990s through a new musical direction and public image.

'We're A Happy Family, A Tribute To Ramones' is a tribute album to the Ramones by Various Artists. It started when Johnny Ramone was presented with the idea of a tribute album and was asked if he wanted to participate, to which he agreed, as long as he would have full control over the project. He was able to get Rob Zombie as a co-producer, and call upon high profile bands to participate. Rob Zombie also did the cover artwork, and Stephen King, a Ramones fan, wrote the liner notes.
