U2 launch online radio station

Irish rock band U2 have launched an radio station on their website.

Zoo Radio, on u2.com, features favourite records picked by U2 and friends of the band, including Noel Gallagher, Flood, JJ72, Paul Oakenfold, No Doubt and Gavin Friday.

Adam Clayton provides commentary on the tracks he has chosen, while Edge introduces tracks from 'U2: The Best of 1990-2000'.

The station was created by the band to celebrate the launch of their new Best Of compilation.

U2 missed out in four categories at last night's MTV Europe Awards.

Massive Attack - Heligoland

Massive Attack's blend of catchiness, contrariness and cool is as alluring as ever on 'Heligoland'.

Keith Mullins - The Great Atlantic

Mullins packs plenty into his stories of loss, mistakes made and getting on with it.

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

As is the nature with albums as diverse as this in style and contributors, 'Plastic Beach' can be patchy in parts, but the sheer versatility and depth of this sprawling work are its saviours.
