Introduction:

Undisputedly, the most watched great band in the UK and Ireland in the 1980s was U2. They began their music career in a school in Dublin in 1977. Vocalist Bono Vox, formerly known as Paul Hewson, was born in Dublin on May 10, 1960. Lead guitarist "The Edge" was formerly known as David Evans. Evans, born on August 8, 1961 in Barking, Essex, bassist Adam Clayton, born on March 13, 1960 in Oxford, England, drummer Larry Mullen Jr ., born in Dublin on October 1, 1960. When the band was first formed, U2 was named the band "Feedback" and sang with some bands such as "The Rolling Stone" and "The Beach Boys". They later changed their name to Hype, and then to U2 in 1977. That year they won a tryout in Limerick and were hired by Paul McGuinness, who successfully signed with CBS Records in Ireland. The company signed a deal. Their debut EP album "U2:3" in Ireland and the single "Out of Control" (1979) took the band to the number one spot in the Irish charts. The song "Another Day" achieved this success again, and the song was also accepted by CBS in the UK, allowing the band to sign with Island Records outside Ireland for their first single "Didi Da Da 11" in the UK. 11 O' Clock Tick Tock, produced by Martin Hannett, was popular but failed to chart. Later hits "A Day Without Me" and "I Will The two singles "I Will Follow" had a certain amount of sales. At this time, they were preparing to release their debut album, which would be produced by Steve Lillywhite.
