"U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Millen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns.

Boy is their debut album...released on 20 October 1980 on Island Records. Thematically, the album captures the thoughts and frustrations of adolescence...It contains many songs from the band's 40-song catalogue at the time, including two tracks that were re-recorded from their original versions on the band's debut release, the EP Three...Boy peaked at number 63 on the Billboard 200, but after the success of U2's later material, it re-entered the American charts for a lengthier spell...The album finished in 18th place on the "Best Albums" list from The Village Voice's 1981 Pazz and Jop critics' poll...In 2003, the album was included at No. 417 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The magazine wrote, "Too ingenuous for punk, too unironic for new wave, U2 arrived on Boy as big-time dreamers with the ambition to back it up."...In 2006, Uncut ranked the album at No. 59 on its list of the "100 Greatest Debut Albums".  WIKIPEDIA                   

Songs include Side One: I Will Follow, Twilight, An Cat Dubh, Into The Heart, Out Of Control.

             Side Two: Stories For Boys, The Ocean, A Day Without Me,
                         Another Time Another Place, The Electric Company,
                         Shadows And Tall Trees.
