If you're talking about the version on all the file sharing things, it's just the Edge singing it. the Pumpkins did cover "Stay", though. And I believe Collective Soul has covered "I Will Follow", as has Third Eye Blind, Hootie and the Blowfish have covered "Gloria" and "MLK"

Well knock me down with a feather...i didnt know that Thanks

 

[Blue Room]

Collective Soul has covered I Will Follow. I have a CD of it. Its a pretty rockin version also. One of the few covers of a U2 song that is decent IMO.

 

[kobayashi]

this one time i was at mcmaster university's student bar and i saw this guy do an awesome version of desire. i was really drunk though so it might not have been awesome at all-oh well!

don't.

 

[Dorian Gray]

The Tea Party have covered One and ISHFWILF
Dream Theatre does RHMT
I Mother Earth covered Exit and One Tree Hill I think



------------------
And I felt like a star...

 

[Foxxern]

REM has covered One.
Live, Radiohead, and Sublime have all covered Sunday Bloody Sunday.
POD has covered BTBS.
KMFDM has covered Mysterious ways.

Cher on her 1999 Believe tour opened with I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. It sounded pretty good.

 

[Bri2k]

A Christian Band called Caedmon's Call covered In God's Country on one of their live cds. It sounds very true to the U2 version.

Brian

 

[Lemonator]

A band called Mortal did Running To Stand Still, and Virtus covered that song also.

[A|catura]

Dream Theater does "Red Hill Mining Town" and "Bad". Very awesome FULL versions!

DC Talk does "40". Full version.

Radiohead's version of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" kicks arse!!!

To my knowledge, Radiohead never actually did Sunday Bloody Sunday. The so called "Radiohead version" is the mp3 of Edge singing SBS at Pop Mart.

 

[scatteroflight]

I was going to mention Dream Theater doing Red Hill Mining Town but someone got in ahead of me. I have heard an mp3 of it, it was quite respectable. A similar band, Queensryche, who I have seen live, has done Bullet the BLue Sky, apparently. But not on the tour when I saw them (1995)--I think it was after that.

For less well-known acts

I was in a coffee shop once where some guys were playing acoustic guitar and they started playing Mothers. One of the people I was with was also a big U2 fan so we enjoyed that. And I clearly remember walking through Amsterdam and hearing a busker playing One on his guitar and accompanying himself by whistling...

[Johnny Swallow]

Along with 'Stay', The Pumpkins did at least partial covers of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'(And no I'm not talking about the Mexico City MP3) and 'Numb'.

 

[bullet the blue sky]

Robbie Williams did One

Don't know about Live, but Radiohead and Sublime's versions floating around are also the Edge singing.

 

[gherman]

Seal and and some other stars did a live cover of ISHFWILF>

 

[u2popmofo]

Pet Shop boys did Where the Streets have No Name.

 

[candyfloss]

When Third Eye Blind covered I Will Follow Stephan Jenkins would introduce it by saying: "This is the song I used to masterbate to."

Silly Stephan.

[u2head]

Pearl Jam covered "I Will Follow".

 

[bullet the blue sky]

Craig David covered One and called it Walking Away

Johnny Cash did One, of course

I'm sure The Chimes, who covered ISHFWILF, must have performed it live at some point

Didn't Mica Paris cover One too? And sing it live?

Actually, on the subject of cover versions, I heard this crazy French club tune in 1998 that used New Year's Day's piano for it's main bit. It is not the Musique vs U2 one. Can anyone help?

 

[The Wanderer]

hell fucking no, radiohead has never covered Sunday Bloody Sunday or any other U2 song for that matter, don't you people know the Edge's voice and guitar???

 

[AM]

my band, on the night we split up

We played One which was really great and we got everybody singing along.

An excellent cover! Derek Webb wails.

Also, I think Counting Crows has covered I Will Follow, but I haven't heard it. I may head over to morpheus and see if I can find it.
And I heard a lady named Nichole Nordeman cover ISHFWILF about two weeks ago.

 

[MBH]

FYI: Heavy-metal outfit Anthrax has recently recorded a version of "Exit"
