Stair
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tús agus briseadh isteach sna cairteacha (1976-1980)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tháinig an banna le chéile den chéad uair ar an 25 Meán Fómhair 1976 i gcistin an drumadóra, Larry Mullen. Bhí seachtar ann, na buachaillí ó Mount Temple a d'fhreagair fógra a chuir Mullen ar crochadh sa scoil. Ghlac siad an t-ainm Feedback dóibh féin.
Tar éis bliain go leith de chleachtadh, d'aithraigh siad a ainm go The Hype agus bhuaigh siad £500 i seó tallainne os cionn Jackie Hayden as CBS Records. Rinne siad a chéad "demo" ceart leis an airgead sin.
Is é Steve Rapid, ball den bhanna punc Radiators From Space, a chum an t-ainm U2 dóibh.
I Meán Fómhair 1979, chuaigh a chéad EP U2-3 isteach sna cairteacha ag uimhir a haon in Éirinn. Chuaigh siad ar thuras gearr go Sasana chun cúpla ceolchoirm a dhéanamh.
Boy, October agus War (1980-1984)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Shínigh U2 le Island Records i mí Mhárta 1980. Cuireadh Boy ar díol i Meán Fómhair na bliana sin. Meastar gurb é Boy ceann de na debut is fearr i stair an rac-cheoil. Chuaigh úrscéal Lord of the Flies i bhfeidhm go mór ar U2 agus feictear é seo san albam. Tá pictiúr do Peter Rowen, deartháir charad de chuid Bono, Guggi ar chlúdach an albaim. Tá amhráin ar nós I Will Follow agus Out of Control ar an albam Boy, amhráin a sheinneann U2 go fóill ina gcuid ceolchoirmeacha.
Cuireadh October amach i 1981. Tá téama láidir (an Chríostaíocht) le feiceáil san albam seo. Ní haon ionadh é ansin go raibh Bono, Edge agus Larry Mullen ina mbaill de ghrúpa Críostaí darbh ainm "Shalom" ag an am seo. Is é "October" an t-aon albam rac-Chríostaí a d'eisigh U2 agus níor éirigh go rómhaith leis an albam sna cairteacha.
Rinne U2 fístéip cheoil don amhrán Gloria ag an am seo. Meiert Avis a stiúir í.
Eisíodh War amach i Feabhra 1983.
The Unforgettable Fire agus Live Aid (1984–85)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tháinig The Unforgettable Fire amach i Deireadh Fómhair 1984.
The Joshua Tree agus Rattle and Hum (1986–89)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tháinig The Joshua Tree amach i Márta 1987 agus tháinig Rattle and Hum amach i Deireadh Fómhair 1988.
Achtung Baby, Zoo TV, agus Zooropa (1990–93)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tháinig Achtung Baby amach i Samhain 1991 agus tháinig Zooropa amach i Iúil 1993.
Passengers, Pop, agus PopMart (1994–99)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tháinig Pop amach i Márta 1997.
All That You Can't Leave Behind agus How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb (2000–06)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tháinig All That You Can't Leave Behind amach i Deireadh Fómhair 2000 agus tháinig How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb amach i Samhain 2004.
No Line on the Horizon agus U2 360° Tour (2006–2011)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Tháinig No Line on the Horizon amach i mí Feabhra 2009, an dara halbam déag ó stiuidió U2. Tá tuairimí polaitiúla de chuid Bono le haithint san albam seo. Ba cheart aird agus aitheantas a thabhairt do na tuairimí seo mar ghné lárnach den saothar. Tá dearcadh Bono ar fhadhbanna na Liobáine soiléir ón teideal Cedars of Lebanon a dhéanann tagairt do bhrat na tíre.[1]
Songs of Innocence agus Innocence + Experience Tour (2011–2015)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 agus Songs of Experience (2016–)
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Gaeilge
[cuir in eagar | athraigh foinse]Rinne an clár Adhmhaidin ar Raidió na Gaeltachta agallamh le U2 sna 1980idí. Rinne siad a ndícheall cé go raibh meirg ar a gcuid Gaeilge. Dúirt Bono go raibh caitheamh ina dhiaidh aige nár fhoghlaim sé tuilleadh Gaeilge agus é ina dhalta scoile.[2]
In 2012, thóg TG Lurgan amach "Beautiful Day" nó "Glac an Saol go Réidh" de chuid U2.[3]
