Dream artists who you want to cover U2 songs

[Rafiennes]

Leonard Cohen - Mysterious Ways - do it with his usual standard keyboard and drum loop and backing singers. Could sound cool.

Chris Isaak - Your Blue Room - very stripped down, his haunting guitar playing.

David Bowie - Love Your like Mad - already sounds like a Bowie song, why not?

Oasis - Last Night On Earth. Just to hear Liam and Noel go at it on the chorus would be stellar!

Travis - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own. I think Fran's voice would be amazing on that song.

Andrea Coor - Electrical Storm. Don't know why, but I think she could do a good job with this.

Elvis Costello - So Cruel. Would kill to hear him do this, acoustic guitar, Larry on drums.

What about you, homeslice?

How about this: NO ONE. Cover songs are evil 99% of the time, particularly from personal and emotional songs from artists like U2 come on. "One" is such a personal song, any stupid teenager who thinks MJB's "version" of it is well...stupid haha.

SOAD: MiamI
Rammstein: MOFO
The Strokes: Wire

But sometimes you get that 1% that is good.
maybe one of these could be that 1%

Andrea Corr - With Or Without You

Beautiful girl though she is, i wouldnt let her near any U2 song. She'd make it sound as bland and shite as anything from her own band!

 

[An Cat Gav]

White Stripes- The Fly
Air-Three Sunrises

 

[An Cat Gav]

Nick Cave-EXit
