Which Artists Would You Have Cover These Songs? Part One: The Joshua Tree

[gvox]

There's absolutely no chance in hell MJBs duet on One is the worst cover of a U2 song. It's not even a cover, it's U2! uh:

 

[Galeongirl]

My ears disagree.

 

[gvox]

Your ears disagree that a U2 song, with, you know, U2 playing and singing on it and MJB adding guest vocals is not a duet, but is actually a cover?

You better start wearing ear plugs at concerts, my friend.

 

[Galeongirl]

only during Interpol.


But yeah, I'd rather pretend that duet never happened. A bad cover is better to handle than a bad Bono idea.

 

[gvox]

Except it wasn't Bono's idea.

 

[Galeongirl]

Ah you know he's probably the one who talked the others into this. He's the RnB fan of them anyway.

 

[gvox]

He's the RnB fan of them anyway.

Nope. That would be Adam.

 

[martha]

The Gutter Twins might do a nice job with Trip Through Your Wires.
