U2: How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
CASE MEMORIAL LIBRARY CALL NUMBER: CD/ROCK/U2
ARTIST WEBSITE: http://www.u2.com/
Chuck Arnold wrote in People's "2006 Grammy Picks": "[T]his is a two-horse race between U2 and [Kanye] West. Had the powerful Atomic Bomb not been released way back in November 2004, we would have tapped Bono and the boys to win. Theirs is probably the better album."
According to Unforgettable Fire by Eamon Dunphy (784.54/U2), the members of U2 were playing together as "The Hype" in 1978 when bassist Adam Clayton decided "they needed a name that would be slightly mysterious, wouldn't pin them down to anything or place in particular. He loved X T C, which was the name of one of the bands around. [Rock singer Steve Rapid] thought about it for a few days before coming up with U2. . . . Nobody knew what it meant, but the name stuck in your brain" (pp. 97-98).
