U2 Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

A U2 quiz plays differently from most, because the tell is the guitar, not the singer. Guess the U2 song from The Edge's delay-soaked intros, the arpeggio of 'Where the Streets Have No Name', the surging riff of 'Beautiful Day' or the sustained note under 'With or Without You', then test your trivia on the 1990s swerve, when Achtung Baby turned 'The Fly', 'Even Better Than the Real Thing' and 'Mysterious Ways' electronic and ironic. The Achtung Baby swerve is what separates listeners.

Di balik reff paling jelas tersembunyi pilihan produksi, video musik, dan kebiasaan mendengarkan yang membuat lagu-lagu ini cocok untuk kuis.

U2 has won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, a record that turns up often in music trivia.
The band formed in 1976 after 14-year-old drummer Larry Mullen Jr. pinned a note to the noticeboard at Mount Temple school in Dublin, and the same four members have played together ever since.
The Edge's real name is David Evans and Bono's is Paul Hewson, two of the most-asked real-name questions on any U2 quiz.
'Vertigo' opens with Bono counting off in Spanish and deliberately landing on the wrong number: 'Uno, dos, tres, catorce', meaning one, two, three, fourteen.
In 2014 U2 pushed their album Songs of Innocence free into roughly half a billion iTunes accounts, auto-adding it to users' libraries and setting off a backlash Apple had to build a delete tool for.

The intros the guitar hands you

This is where casual fans clean up: U2 songs that announce themselves through The Edge's guitar. The delayed arpeggio of 'Where the Streets Have No Name', the ringing chords of 'Pride (In the Name of Love)', the surging riff of 'Beautiful Day' and the stop-start attack of 'Vertigo' are on you before Bono opens his mouth. Name them from the guitar alone and you bank the easy points.

When the voice carries it

Some U2 songs hide the guitar and lean on Bono and atmosphere instead, and that shift is its own test. 'One', 'With or Without You' and 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' build on mood and vocal more than a hook you can hum from the intro, so the tell moves from the fretboard to the melody. Players who rely only on the riff stall here.

The Achtung Baby swerve

In 1991 U2 tore up their own template. Achtung Baby and its Zoo TV tour pushed the band into electronics, irony and distortion, with Bono performing as characters like The Fly and MacPhisto. 'The Fly', 'Even Better Than the Real Thing' and 'Mysterious Ways' can sound like a different group, which is exactly why a good U2 quiz drops one in to catch you out.

Where superfans pull clear

The catalog's edges decide the top scores. The early urgency of 'Gloria' and 'New Year's Day', the Rattle and Hum blues of 'Desire' and 'Angel of Harlem', and later cuts like 'Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of' and 'City of Blinding Lights' are where lifelong fans separate. Place these and there is little U2 left to trip you.

How well do you know U2?

Play the free U2 quiz on Songtrivia to find out. Guess songs from a short clip, mostly by The Edge's guitar, and answer trivia across the 80s anthems and the 90s reinvention. Score 8 out of 10 and you know the band; a perfect 10 across the deep cuts is rare.

Which U2 songs are in the quiz?

Expect the anthems everyone knows, 'With or Without You', 'Where the Streets Have No Name', 'One', 'Beautiful Day' and 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', plus deep cuts like 'New Year's Day' and 'Desire' that separate the superfans.

What makes the U2 quiz tricky?

You usually name a U2 song from The Edge's chiming, delay-heavy guitar rather than the vocal, so the hard round is the 1990s, when Achtung Baby turned that guitar electronic and ironic and a track can sound nothing like U2.

Who are the members of U2, and what are their real names?

U2 have kept the same four members since 1976: Bono (born Paul Hewson) on vocals, The Edge (born David Evans) on guitar, Adam Clayton on bass and Larry Mullen Jr. on drums. The band formed in Dublin, Ireland.
