The band formed in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. By the mid-1980s, however, the band had become a top international act, noted for their anthemic sound, Bono's impassioned vocals, and The Edge's textural guitar playing. U2 started as one of the early pioneers of PostPunk and their albums ''Boy'' and ''War'' were largely college radio hits. Their success as a live act was greater than their success at selling records until their 1987 album ''The Joshua Tree'' increased the band's stature "from heroes to superstars," according to Rolling Stone. U2 responded to the dance and alternative rock revolutions, the backlash against their earnest image and their own sense of musical stagnation by reinventing themselves with their 1991 album ''Achtung Baby'' and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour. They carried on with their experimental, heavily electronic and satirical AlternativeRock sound for the rest of the 1990s. Starting in the 2000s, U2 pursued a more traditional sound that retained the influence of their previous musical explorations before combining ''that'' with the experimental spirit of the '90s on their most recent album, ''No Line On The Horizon.''

The band formed in 1976 under the name "Feedback" when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. It soon changed its name to "The Hype." In 1978, when David's older brother Dik left the band, they decided to change their name again; Mullen's friend Steve Averill of The Radiators gave them six suggestions of names, and they settled on "U2" because it was the name they least disliked.
