• The fourth studio album by U2 was originally released in 1984. More ambient than the hard-hitting War album, The Unforgettable Fire showed the most change in direction at the time. The album contains tributes to Martin Luther King, Jr. and Elvis Presley and contains the hit “Pride (In the Name of Love). This was the first collaborative effort for Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.
