Very Good!

 

[candice star]

wow good choices!

i like the strokes

but what about FILTER?I love Filter & they should play 1 of those U2 songs

 

[bono-vox]

Who are Filter?

 

[PrincessBadgirl]

Really diverse artists, I like. I just can't imagine the Strokes doing anything U2 though maybe Aerosmith could do Desire.

Filter are the guys that sung that song "do you want to take my picture"

They're one of the best hard rock bands around, and their lead singer is a huge U2 fan. He said their last album was even modeled as an Unforgettable Fire type of album.

Great choices on that list. Some of the best bands around. A couple of other suggestions:

SBS - Pete Yorn
Gone - Depeche Mode
I Will Follow - Collective Soul (they've already covered it)
God Part 2 - POD or Rage Against The Machine


------------------
Change is the only constant

 

[candice star]

i know...some ppl don't know about filter, but when they hear "take a picture", they'll say "oooh, i know this song, this song is familiar"

 

[MixingBliss]

I always thought Pearl Jam could potentially do an amazing "Out of Control." Can't you just hear Eddie Vedder's vocals screaming "Monday morning, 18 years of dawning..."

 

[PopFly]

I always figured Elton for a cool version of Running to Stand Still

------------------
"You gotta love living, baby, 'cause dyin's a pain in the ass."-- Frank Sinatra

Adam: Look guys, I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection.
Edge: Oh boy, here we go...
Bono: Wow, how many is that now Adam?
Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Bono: Can I see it?
*adam gives bono the spoon, bono throws it away*
Adam: My spoon!

 

[Peter]

Why not a tribute concert with all those artists in Slane Castle?

 

[Zoocifer]

"Lemon" - Tom Waits
"Wake up Deadman" - Nick Cave

------------------
" You love this town - even if that doesn't ring true. You've been all over, and it's been all over you " - Bono

" Don't you know there ain't no Devil, that's just God when he's drunk " - Tom Waits

[80sU2isBest]

I think that Rock groups that have had songs covered by U2 should return the favor by reuniting and covering U2 songs.

For instance,
ABBA could do "With Or Without You"
The Monkees could do "Spanish Eyes" or "Lemon"

Lemon: David Bowie
Desire: Nelly Furtado
Discotheque: Radiohead
Where the Streets Have No Name: Sheryl Crow
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me: Van Halen
One: Johnny Cash (from the American III recording)
The Wanderer: U2 doing their own version, having Bono cover Johnny Cash
Staring at the Sun: Jewel
Pride: Bruce Springsteen
Bad: Elton John
Mysterious Ways: Soggy Bottom Boys (hee-hah!)

At the moment, i couldn't fill an album, but a few suggestions...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday - Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood (Edge style from PopMart)
Exit & Loves Comes Tumbling - Pearl Jam
Stuck in a Moment - Oasis
Discotheque - Depeche Mode

These would be AWESOME!!! I am a dreamer.

Peace.

i dunno....maybe its just me.....but i cant imaine anyone else singing u2!ESPECIALLY not One or WOWY..or....anything!sorry for being so not creative and imaginative

but even though i love Bruce Springsteen, and a whole load of other artists, i just cant imagine a U2 song being sung without Bono on vocals(and occasional guitar!), edge on guitar,adam on...well you get the picture!


altough,hang on,i think i could def deal with Jeff Buckley on Running to stand still(what an amazing voice)maybe oasis on something,bruce....maybe.
