The group comprises Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar, the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals, Adam Clayton (bass guitar, and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). Initially rooted in post-punk, U2's musical style has evolved throughout their career, yet has maintained an anthemic quality built on Bono's expressive vocals and the Edge's chiming, Effects unit|effects-based guitar sounds. Bono's lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal and sociopolitical themes. Popular for their live performances, the group have staged several elaborate tours over their career. The band was formed when the members were teenaged pupils of Mount Temple Comprehensive School and had limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed with Island Records and released their debut album, ''Boy (album)|Boy'' (1980). Works such as their first UK number-one album, ''War (U2 album)|War'' (1983, and singles "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "Pride (In the Name of Love)" helped establish U2's reputation as a politically and socially conscious group.

Facing creative stagnation and a backlash to their documentary and double album ''Rattle and Hum'' (1988, U2 reinvented themselves in the 1990s. Beginning with their acclaimed seventh album, ''Achtung Baby'' (1991, and the multimedia spectacle of the Zoo TV Tour, the band pursued a new musical direction influenced by alternative rock, electronic dance music, and industrial music, and they embraced a more ironic, flippant image. This experimentation continued on ''Zooropa'' (1993) and concluded with ''Pop (U2 album)|Pop'' (1997) and the PopMart Tour. ''All That You Can't Leave Behind'' (2000) and ''How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb'' (2004, saw a return to a more conventional, mainstream sound.
