无可争议,80年代英国和爱尔兰最受瞩目的伟大乐队是U2,在80年代被滚石杂志称为U2的十年,由此可见U2的巨大影响。The Edge的招牌吉他音响与Bono情感炽热的演唱已使U2成为最流行的摇滚乐队之一。专辑《War》是U2对在祖国爱尔兰发生的宗教与政治风暴的真挚而富于情感的回应。U2为尼古拉斯.凯奇和梅格.瑞恩主演的电影〔天使之城〕制作了一首主题歌"If god will send his angels",没有炫耀的吉他,没有急促的鼓鸣,一切归于沉静。主唱BONO用最低沉的嗓音吟唱,一种痛至极度的哀伤淡淡流淌出来,却轻易就敲碎了听者的心。此曲可以说是U2演绎的最动情的情歌,也是20世纪最百听不厌的经典情歌之一。
