U2 is an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1976, whose core members are Bono (Paul Hewson), The Edge (David Evans), Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.

Renowned for arena-scale tours (Zoo TV, PopMart, U2 360°), influential 1980s/1990s albums, and Bono's public humanitarian and political engagement.

DeBaser reviews celebrate U2's landmark 1980s and 1990s albums while often criticizing their 2000s output and some live releases. Early work (Boy, War, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby) is widely praised. Later records and commercial compilations receive mixed-to-negative reactions.
