Great U2 Covers

[LMP]

the ones that spring to mind right now are

Keane's "With or Without You"
The Bravery's "An Cat Dubh"
Bell X1's "Heartland"
and The Smashing Pumpkins' "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"

are there any others I forgot that are worth listening to?

Ari Hest did a lovely cover of Running to Stand Still that I found on Limewire one day, it's live somewhere. The Counting Crows also did a pretty good (again live) version of I Will Follow.

I agree with the Pumpkins' cover, I didn't like it at first but it definitely grew on me. As Billy Corgan's voice does.

 

[Axver]

I love Dream Theater's cover of Red Hill Mining Town. I wish they'd covered Bad in it's live rather than studio form, though.

Neal Morse's rearrangement of Where The Streets Have No Name is interesting too, and I like the acoustic live All I Want Is You by Anathema's Danny Cavanagh.

Running to Stand Still by Tori Amos is pretty awesome.

Running to Stand Still by Tori Amos is pretty awesome.

This is probably the only one I really like.

Cash's version of One is good...

But for the most part, I haven't heard any that blow me away.

Must agree with the last post, other than J Cash's One any cover ive ever heard has been garbage, for example The Chimes, I still havent found, Pet Shop Boys-Streets, Blige-One...

Love is blindness by the devlins feat. Sharon Corr

 

[annie_vox]

There's a cover of Drowning man by a Madelain something that I like a lot... It's really beautiful. But it has Bono's voice in the begining...

 

[AtomicBono]

Wow, I haven't even heard of most of these. I had no idea Smashing Pumpkins did Stay or The Bravery did An Cat Dubh. How did that sound? I'm curious.

Rogue Wave did a nice cover of Seconds, and of course Cash's version of One is classic. This band - I think it was Pillar? - did sort of a heavy-ish cover of Sunday Bloody Sunday, and I liked it pretty well.

My band does a mean cover of Vertigo, it should be on everyone's favourite U2 covers list

If anyone wants to hear the covers I mentioned, leave your emails and I'll send a link.

Counting Crows did I Will Follow? Do you know where I can find an mp3 of this?

I'm a big fan of them. The only other U2 thing I've heard them do was when Adam Duritz sometimes sang a snippet of Red Hill Mining Town (the "I'm hanging on / You're all that's left to hold on to" part).

The Keane and Bravery covers were surprisingly pretty good.

I haven't really heard many of the other ones. If anyone could send the Smashing Pumpkins or Dream Theater covers my way, I'd really appreciate it. I think the Dream Theater cover should be interesting and I just plain love the Pumpkins.

sanctus real's cover of beautiful day was simply fantastic

audio adrenaline's cover of gloria was rockin', i like what they did to it

umm i didnt like tait's cover of one that much, johnny cash's is much better

one of my moronic friends loves pillar's version of SBS, says its better than the original, but i think he is stupid and he doesnt like U2 anyways...

 

[mads]

Love is Blindness by Trespassers William is beautiful.

Actually I'd recommend anything by Trespassers William.

 

[Alannahvox]

Johnny Cash's version of One is amazing.

I have a band covering SBS, although I have not got a clue who the band is. When I got it from Limewire it said it was Sublime, but I have never heard of them

I also have Nirvana singing SBS. It's pretty good.

No you don't, it's not Nirvana, it's a fake.

I can email it to you if you want, I obtained it in the days when downloading music for free was semi-legal still. Or at least people thought it was. LOL.

I like the Pet Shop Boys and Keane covers best I think. Some others that are interesting are Elvis Costello - Please and Hanson - In a Little While.

 

[benito]

I recently purchased the Rescue Me soundtrack and I was surprised to hear a pretty good cover of Love is Blindess by the Devlins.

It is? Meh. Thanks for letting me know.

 

[prideofzootv]

didnt someone cover Pride?

 

[JulioArca]

Bullet The Blue Sky by Sepultura is quite interesting..!

Pet Shop Boys' Streets version by far the best cover though, love it!

I remember hearing 'Bad' by DT live, but my download didn't pull throug all the way. It sounded really good though...

Where can you hearing Red Hill?

 

[mediaman44]

Is it too late

I would like some of these covers. Especially the Johnny Cash-One and The Bravery's A Cat Dubh.

I have the Keane cover and I think it rocks. Any others you can send me and I will see what I think

The Bravery covered 'The Electric Co' at Coachella in 2005... no one's been able to get an MP3...

Evergreen Terrace did a bad Sunday Bloody Sunday.
