Given U2 were formed way back in 1976 and have since released 13 studio albums plus are one of the world's best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 170 million records worldwide - we thought it about time that the WRC checked out what all the fuss is about.

A review and more pics to follow - but in the meantime take a look at our Vid Of The Day.
