In honor of St. Patrick's Day and Ireland, let's recognize one of the most amazing bands to come out of The Emerald Isle, U2. The band originates from Dublin, Ireland, getting their start in 1976.

They are one of a few bands left with the original members, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullin Jr., The Edge and Bono. The albums this band has produced so far (13) have been no less than great, from their debut LP, 'Boy' in 1980, to their last, the 'Songs of Innocence' which came out in 2014. My favorite U2 album is 1988's 'Rattle and Hum.'

By the way, do you know why Ireland is nicknamed The Emerald Isle? It's because of the awesome rolling hills and green grass. If you've been to Ireland, you know what I'm talking about. If not, you must travel there some day!

Enjoy U2 performing All I Want Is You during a 2007 show in Milan, Italy for this week's Classic Rock Pick!
