Desire

U2

Description

^{U2 are a rock band from Dublin, Ireland. The band consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar) and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion).
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. 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.
"Desire" is the lead single from U2's 1988 album, Rattle and Hum. It was also their first number 1 single in the UK. It reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, and reached number 1 on both the Mainstream and Modern Rock Tracks charts, their first song to reach the top of both of these charts.}
