Best Album of the Year (Achtung Baby).Best Single (One).U2 romped through Rolling Stone's most recent(1994) readers' poll, winning all the major categories.Now U2:The Rolling Stone Files forms the ultimate tribute to this iconoclastic Irish band by collecting together a seminal compendium of interviews,narrative pieces,album reviews, performance critiques and general information and opinion culled from the pages of Rolling Stone, the US magazine that virtually founded rock reporting.The book also includes an exhaustive discography, tourography,chart positions and index.The story of U2 is a dramatic one, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine, which has covered the band since its inception.Readers will rediscover the band's roots as an earnest group with a peace mission in early articles and album reviews,and will marvel over the abrupt transformation into "Mcphisto" - the degenerate,demonic alter ego that Bono has assumed for U2's recent outrageously successful tour, Zooropa.Part of the uniqueness of this volume is the diversity of opinion found throughout the interviews and articles, allowing the reader a much broader perspective than a traditional biography could provide.
