On U2’s 1987 album ‘The Joshua Tree’, the band shifted away from the ambient experimentation of their 1984 release ‘The Unforgettable Fire’ and applied a harder-hitting sound to tighter song structures. The album is influenced by American and Irish roots music, and through socio-politically conscious lyrics embellished with spiritual imagery. It features some of the band’s biggest and most enduring hits, including “Where The Streets Have No Name” and “With or Without You.
