Under the Dublin sky in 1976, a group of ambitious teenagers answered a call for musicians that would forever change the face of rock music. This was the beginning of U2, an iconic band formed by Bono (Paul Hewson), The Edge (David Evans), Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. Hailing from Ireland, they channeled their youthful energy into creating a sound that was equal parts raw emotion and innovative artistry, setting the stage for a career that would span decades.

From their debut album Boy in 1980 to their most recent release, U2 has produced fifteen studio albums, carving out a legacy of both critical acclaim and commercial success. Albums like The Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby became cultural touchstones, featuring hits that topped charts worldwide and earned the band a staggering 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other rock group in history. With over 170 million records sold, U2’s influence transcends music, touching on themes of social justice and human rights in both their lyrics and activism.

Known for their groundbreaking live performances, including the unforgettable Zoo TV Tour and 360° Tour, U2 redefined what it meant to connect with audiences, blending spectacle with sincerity. As pioneers in the MTV era, their visually arresting music videos and anthemic tracks like “With or Without You” and “One” cemented their status as global superstars. Their music continues to resonate with fans of all generations, embodying a spirit of reinvention and timelessness.

This introduction serves as a gateway to an exhaustive A-to-Z list of U2’s songs, a testament to their enduring creativity and the profound mark they’ve left on the rock music landscape.
