U2's Joshua Tree to be preserved

U2's The Joshua Tree, Linda Ronstadt's Heart Like A Wheel and an influential Christian rock album are among 25 recordings which have been chosen for preservation at the Library of Congress in the US.

The selections for the National Recording Registry include seminal sounds of the 20th century, chosen for their cultural, historical or aesthetic importance.

Highlights include Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fortunate Son and the Everly Brothers' Cathy's Clown.

The library received many public nominations for U2's 1987 album.

Its inclusion coincides with the addition of Larry Norman's Christian album Only Visiting This Planet. Curators said U2's sound has influenced and been combined with Christian rock in some churches.
