The one song you wish U2 would 'cover'?

[Zoots]

I'd have to say Corduroy - Pearl Jam.

coldplay ------------- Fix you, Yellow

 

[Zoots]

Fix you

 

[U2dork]

I got all excited when Bono snippeted a bit of Van Morrison's Crazy Love during a show or two of Elevation. They've never been known to play other peoples songs very well, but maybe they could handle Tupelo Honey.

 

[Screwtape2]

Synchronicity 2 by The Police. Imagine the what Edge could sonic to the song. I've always that Bono would sound great singing a Police song.
Remember when he sang part of Invisible Sun?
Every element of this song would be equal or better if done by U2.

 

[u2thewho]

Baba O'Riley, by The Who. The violin solo on guitar...

 

[prideofzootv]

oh my god they must cover something by Queen erm...

Radio Ga Ga
These are the days of our lives
i want to Break Free OMG how much would that rock!

 

[U2One]

anything by oasis

 

[Harry Vest]

U2 attempting "Like A Hurricane" or "Cortez The Killer" by Neil Young

 

[BVS]

One, by Mary J Blige

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

99 Red Balloons by Nena.

Dead serious about this, I have a strange obsession with this song, and it would just floor me to hear Bono singing it. They could rock it up like Goldfinger did when they covered it. Plus it's sort of a political song, so it's right up his alley.

One, by Mary J Blige

I'd say something by Springsteen, but then again all those long-lyriced songs would probably be muffed up by Bono.

Great song


Songs I would love to see covered

Dave by the Boomtown Rats
Over the hills and far away by Gary Moore

 

[Salome]

I know there is a song I want them to cover
but I can't think of it

so I will say: Fleetwood Mac - Go your own way

 

[Ifeelnumb84]

I agree with Synchronicity II, that would rock.
I don't think they'd do Corduroy justice, it is my favorite PJ song and I don't think anyone else could do it better.
My picks would be Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin and Run Like Hell by Pink Floyd

 

[julianamendoza]

i touch myself by madona LOL!!
seriously, "La camisa negra" by Juanes, it would be fun to hear bono sing a whole song in spanish.. specially such an amazing song!

 

[BVS]

i touch myself by madona LOL!!

Madonna doesn't sing that...

 

[Salome]

yeah, that was by the Devinyls

 

[Blue Room]

I would prefer they do their own new songs in recording or play their own material live, but if I had to pick a song. "We Can Work It Out" by The Beatles. Edge and Bono harmonizing to the "Life is very short" chorus.

 

[Tiger Edge]

If they are going to do a Beatles song they should do "Come Together."

I'm really surprised they haven't already.

 

[J_NP]

Definitely a Led tune , either Starway , that would be ....... or a full version of Whole Lotta Love , they've done several snippets on the past , but never a full .....

Now imagine that intro , LArry and Edge on it

 

[julianamendoza]

Madonna doesn't sing that...

oops! that shows how much I love the song.. and Madonna!

 

[XHendrix24]

Arcade Fire - Wake Up

I'm not totally sure if they could pull if off, but if they could...

 

[discothequeLP]

Smile Like You Mean It

 

[Earnie Shavers]

Smiths - There is a Light that Never Goes Out.

Edge on vocals.

 

[LMP]

I'm really surprised they haven't already.

I'd like to see them do a full "Sympathy for the Devil" by Teh Stones

or even "Comfortably Numb" mayhaps?

Bono sings the Roger Waters bits, Edge sings the David Gilmour bit on top of the stage.

 

[xaviMF22]

they could do "mother" or "young lust" justice though

I can actually imagine Bono doing great things with the vocal.
Ha! Imagine...that's an unintentional Lennon pun if there ever was one.

It would also be neat to hear Edge's style of playing against Harrison's.

 

[LMP]

What about "Bike"?

and Bono rides a tricycle around an ellipse, or triangle or whatever the hell is on the next tour.

Or have Bono play some cowbell with "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"
