who do you want to see U2 collaborate with?

[dr. zooeuss]

all the elder greats are dying.. who's left..?

are they now to always be the elders in collaborative efforts?

would that be such a bad thing..?

this happened about two years before I started getting into music (and U2)... only found out about it in the last year or so... does it count for a half-point?

2 Become 1 - U2 featuring Spice Girls

 

[dr. zooeuss]

Madonna. OMG, I think I would spontanteously with joy.

there's a photo of her backstage with them at ZooTv. that's the closest i'm aware of... what sort of song would it be...?

 

[corianderstem]

She's one of my favorite authors. I loved Traveling Mercies and Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith. Her memoir about raising her son is awesome, too. Her novels are a little hit or miss for me, but I loved Rosie.

haha, nice suggestion. haven't heard much about them recently... what are they up to these days?

 

[dr. zooeuss]

2 Become 1 - U2 featuring Spice Girls

uh, did they release the name of the monstrosity? is it called 2 become 1?

(shudder)

 

[U2isthebest]

I don't know. It would be amazing to see what they would come up with. They're both such legends in their genres. I've seen that pic. too. She was doing her "Girlie Show" tour around the same time too, and they were often doing shows in the same cities within days of each other. I remember reading somewhere that they were going to collaborate on Frank Sinatra tribute album not long after the ZOO TV era, but Madonna backed out after she found out, that she and U2 wouldn't be the only duet, and she was about to start recording her "Bedtime Stories" album.

 

[corianderstem]

Settle down there, Doctor. That's the name of a pre-existing Spice Girls song.

haha, ok. shame on me for not knowing that (right?)

Wow, that would be awesome! I wouldn't mind Bono doing a whole album of Sinatra covers... Madonna could join him on one or two... of course he'd get assailed with accusations of pretension and megalomania, but he's used to that by now. ;-)

Yeah, apparently it was some kind of a tribute album that a lot of artists were going to appear on. I don't know if it ever got made. U2 and Madonna would be my ultimate.

I've heard a lot of good about "Traveling Mercies". I'm going to go for that one first!

I'm not for sure on the title, but I'm assuming that would've been the one!
