U2

This band has "only" released twelve albums and sold however more than hundred and fifty million albums. U2 has also obtained twenty two music awards so I think it's safe to say that they have earned a place on this website. Somehow, I don't know why, I personally am still not a huge fan of U2. It is perhaps because there is never a big climax in their songs, I mean that exploding guitar solo or that burst of anger that makes that the voice is belting out something. Still, to say the least, it's always nice to hear U2 gently in the background.
