U2
Inducted on May 12, 2017

First song played on the Loop: “Sunday Bloody Sunday”

Reasons for induction
An unquestionably solid discography, with at least two legit masterpieces: “Achtung Baby” and “The Joshua Tree”
Redefined stadium shows on tours like “ZOO TV” and “Pop Mart.”
Consistency: It’s still the same four guys in the band that started back in 1976.
Their skill at blending traditional American sounds into their music. Few rock bands have been able to incorporate blues and gospel like U2.
Social consciousness. The band consistently throws itself behind causes and issues, using its superstar platform as a way to spread good.
Bono. One of the greatest frontmen in the history of rock.
One of the greatest rhythm sections in the history of rock (Larry Mullen, Jr. and Adam Clayton)
