U2 was formed in 1977 when fourteen year old Larry Mullen Jr. posted a notice on his school notice board seeking musicians for a new band. They were called Feedback and The Hype before settling on the name, U2.
On St. Patrick's Day 1978, they won a battle of the bands competition, using the prize money to record a demo which impressed Paul McGuinness enough to become their manager and they were subsequently signed to CBS Records.
Island Records signed the band in early 1980, their UK debut, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock was well received by the critics but failed to chart. Their debut album, Boy, was released to critical acclaim and included their first hit single, I Will Follow.
Their subsequent tour of Europe and America, these revealed U2's potential with Bono's passionate singing and the band's musical prowess. October, their second album was released in 1981, it was a much more mellow and spiritual record than their debut reflecting the Christian beliefs of Bono, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. The album met with a lukewarm reception form the critics and it received limited radio airplay. However, their subsequent album, War was acclaimed by critics and was a commercial success, it entered the UK charts at number 1.
They recorded the live album Under a Blood Red Sky on the War tour, it received extensive play on radio and MTV bringing the band to a wider audience. The Unforgettable Fire was released in 1984, produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois; it displayed a more complex, polished and mature sound. The first single from the album, Pride (In the Name of Love) was their biggest hit at that point and illustrated the passion, idealism and humanity of the band. That year they played Live Aid, Self Aid, became involved with Amnesty International and contributed to Little Steven's anti-apartheid single Sun City.
