New Jersey siblings Joseph, Kevin, and Nicholas Jonas craft hook-filled power pop anthems in the vein of the Ramones, Hanson, and the Modern Lovers. The young East Coast natives -- in 2006 the trio topped out at 16, 17, and 13, respectively -- were reared in the city of Wyckoff under the tutelage of musician parents. Their full-length debut, It's About Time, was released in August 2006, followed by the eponymous Jonas Brothers in 2007. |

With the release of their major-label debut, Dookie, Green Day quickly became one of the leading punk/alternative bands of the '90s, winning a GRAMMY AwardŽ for Best Alternative Music Performance in 1994 and selling millions of albums internationally. Formed in northern California in the late '80s, Green Day's music combines '70s-style punk with catchy lyrics and pop. The group consists of singer/guitar player Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool. |

Through a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock & roll bands of the '80s. Equally known for their sweeping sound as for their grandiose statements about politics and religion, they were rock & roll crusaders during an era of synthesized pop and heavy metal. The Edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars. |
