U2: War (1983) For their 1980 debut, Boy, U2 posed five-year-old Peter Rowen as a picture of innocence. Three years later, they put a more troubled-looking Rowen (photographed by Ian Findlay) on this record about the destruction and aftereffects of war. Rowen also appeared wearing a soldier's helmet on U2's The Best of 1980-1990. "It didn't make any difference to my life," said Rowen, now 32 and a photographer, "except it was a day off school." -- JC
