Riassunto

The ultimate celebration of U2 for the band’s fans—with two great books in one!
 
Cowritten by Brian Boyd, a leading music journalist and close associate of U2, and Niall Stokes, editor of Ireland's legendary Hot Press magazine, U2 Songs + Experience recounts the band's incredible career and analyzes the songs from all their studio albums. Along with a discussion of the influences, inspiration, and origins of U2’s immensely popular music, this volume covers the group’s rise from its roots in post-punk and its socially and politically conscious music. Iconic and rare photographs showcase posters, backstage passes, classic flyers, and other rock memorabilia.

Material compiled from U2 Experience and U2: The Stories Behind the Songs.
