I figured we should share songs from artists that have songs that really sound like U2 wrote them...here are my contributions:
Rush - "Bravado"
While the vocal melodies aren't very U2, the music and pace of the song sounds like it was literally lifted off of The Unforgettable Fire. A good song worth checking out.
Pink Floyd - "Take it Back"
From their last album The Division Bell; this song doesn't sound as much like U2 as Bravado, but the guitar work is like a mix of the infinite guitar of With or Without You and the delay guitar of I Still Haven't Found What I am Looking For.
The Alarm - "Rescue Me"
A more obscure pop song, but it sounds like it could come out of Rattle and Hum. Relentless drums and melodic guitar work aplenty. In fact, you could totally hear Bono singing this kind of tune.
I'll try to think of other songs, but I want others to contribute!
