U2 – Boy (1980) An Irish band formed in ’76 by Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton started as a quite edgy post-punk band but went on to incredible World-wide fame and are regarded as one of the most influential of Groups of the late 20^th Century.   Their sound was always dominated by The Edge’s ringing and rhythmic guitar and Bono’s passionate vocals but they incorporated the blues, heavy rock, disco and even jazz into what was usually a recognisable U2 sound.   They would go on, especially after their great Live Aid set to become one of the biggest bands of the last Century.  Best on this debut are ‘I Will Follow’, ‘The Electric Company’ and ‘Shadows and Tall Trees’
