Despite being Irish, would you consider U2 to be a British Invasion band?

They are listed in a list of Second British Invasion artists from the 1980s. Plus Ireland is a British Isle. What do you think?

    Yes.

    They are part of the Second British Invasion, despite being from Ireland. Donovan was from Scotland and considered to be part of the first British invasion.
