artist U2 has covered the most

[marik]

I was wondering what artist U2 has covered the most? I mean full band versions, no snippets included.

Dylan- Maggies Farm, I Shall Be Released, All Along the Watchtower, Knockin on Heaven's Door

Beatles- Help, Instant Karma

any other contenders?

Instant Karma isn't a Beatles song.

As for the question, I don't know. But I would ask Axver.

I think it is Dylan...

though you can add Rain to the Beatles list

 

[Registered Dude]

Helter Skelter and Happiness is a Warm Gun too..

also Ramones: I Remember You, Beat on the Brat, and whatever two songs they played to get on that tv show in the 70s

The original poster isn't counting snippets though.

Pretty sure that, as far as full covers are concerned, Dylan was the most covered. Or maybe it's just the greatness of TV Gaga Knockin' On Heaven's Door that's blinding me to the truth.

They played a good chunk of Jean Genie at MSG in 2005. Not the whole song, but the whole band did jump in after the Fly. I guess it would probably somewhere in between a snippet and a cover.

The Beatles - Help, Blackbird, Sgt. Peppers, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Helter Skelter

 

[The Sad Punk]

Pretty sure it's Anal Cunt?

They did a full Jean Genie at the Gavin Friday show at Carnegie Hall last year.

The Beatles,Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.

I love the lou reed cover

I think Bob Dylan must be in there as well - All Along the Watchtower, Maggies Farm, I Shall Be Released, etc.

Off the top of my head, I've also heard snips from Norwegian Wood and In My Life used.
