U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed in 1976. They began their legacy by infusing their music with the political turmoil of the time.
After working with producer Steve Lillywhite on their first three albums, U2 sought a more sophisticated and experimental sound. They enlisted the help of Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno to produce "The Unforgettable Fire" and "The Joshua Tree," both of which achieved international success.
In the 90s, U2 reinvented themselves once again by incorporating electronic elements into their rock sound. With "Achtung Baby," they created a new musical direction. Bono and the band used their fame to address social issues on a global scale.
