U2 Marks the 40th Anniversary of 'The Unforgettable Fire'

U2's The Unforgettable Fire turns 40 this week, as it was released in Europe on October 1st, 1984 and the U.S on October 2nd, 1984.

It was the band's fourth album and has sold over three-million copies in the U.S. The first single, "Pride (In the Name of Love)," became U2's first Top 40 hit, peaking at number-33. The song was included on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list.

It's also the first time U2 worked with producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. The three ended up collaborating on U2's best known and critically acclaimed albums — The Joshua TreeAchtung Baby and All That You Can't Leave Behind.

Bono, for one, picks The Unforgettable Fire as his favorite U2 album of the 1980s.

Speaking of Bono, he took to U2's official Instagram page to post a tribute to Kris Kristofferson who passed away Saturday at the age of 88. You can see the video of his tribute below.
