Formed in 1976, U2 has consistently remained among the most popular acts in the world since the mid 1980s. The band has sold approximately 50.5 million albums in the U.S., according to the RIAA, and upwards of 170 million worldwide, has had six #1 albums in the US and nine #1 albums in the UK and are one of the most successful bands of the rock era.

Posts: 3176 | November 1st, 2006 at 10:11am my granny told me a joke, and it goes:
'what's the difference between Bono and God?'...'God doesn't think he's Bono'.
tarrdarrr...get it? heh.
my granny has no idea who Bono is but she told me the joke anyways. lol.
it's funny.
i should like them, i'm irish, heh, but yah, i'm not a huge fan of their music. i liked their older stuff and Bono's got a bit of a head on him.
are we sure this thread isn't a dupe though, cause i would have thought a band like U2 would already have a thread on this part?
i could be wrong. who knows. |

Posts: 19598 | December 30th, 2006 at 10:20pm U2 are one of my all-time fav. bands.
I love them, and Bono is like, my absolute hero.
I saw them live when they came to my city, and they were amazing.
Right now, I'm reading a book called Bono on Bono. And it's basically him being interviewed about his life. It's amazing. |

I've never really given U2 a chance. I love most of their singles but I don't think I'd ever buy an album. I'd download one, but not spend money on one. Lol, I must sound well harsh.
I admire Bono for his work with Poverty though.
Oh, and I love the U2 and Green Day song :]
