The Edge could pull that off, can't he?
As for Bono, I don't know how well he'd do with the soft and distant voice of Gilmour.

I have some more cover suggestions:
"Baba O'Riley" by The Who
"Thunder Road" by BRUUUUCE
"Heroes" by David Bowie
"Champagne Supernova" by Oasis
"Find the River" by R.E.M.
I think Bono in particular would tear Find the River up with that sweet, restrained but beautiful vocal thing he can do.
I would love to see them do a Coldplay song, and make Chris Martin cry over Gwenyth's shoulder

If U2 can pull off the beauty of RTSS, maybe they'll do a good job with this one too.

U2 should do a cover of Politik, or Coldplay's best song a Rush of Blood to the head

It would be the first time in documented history a Coldplay song showed non-shitty-falsetto-emotion.
Politik has the word "grace" in it, if it had "kneel", "sugar", or "soul", I'd say it's a definite lock

Find the River
There's also the hidden R.E.M. gem, Be Mine...I love that song like Gwenyth loves her baby Moses. Edge could do magical guitar wonders with that song...it sounds a bit like him already.

Yes - Close to the Edge
or
Genesis - Supper's Ready
On a more realistic note, something from Peter Gabriel would be great and seem pretty fitting. Solsbury Hill would be GREAT before or after Streets. I'd also love to hear Blood of Eden or Washing of the Water.

I think it would be interesting to hear them cover a Melissa Etheridge song -- her early albums were decent, and she seems to write from the heart.

I'm serious!!! I'd love to hear Adam starting up with that bass line, and the lyrics are just perfect...
At first it wasn't easy
Changing rock 'n roll and minds
Things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now it's so much better
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling
Of how I learned my lesson that day

I heard the album 'Roll the Bones' by Rush the other day for the first time in forever and the song 'Bravado' is a U2 song. I mean, Rush wrote it, but it is stylistically, a U2 song.
It would be awesome, methinks.
Many other ideas, but that one jumps out right now.

ooohhhh, that would be fantastic, good idea
I think they could also do a fantastic cover of Heroin...Running to Stand Still is reminiscent of it actually, same D-G chord progression too I believe... Heroin snippet in RTSS would be

I rekon The Boss's Stolen Car would suit U2 down to the ground.

I'm not totally sure if they could pull if off, but if they could...
That would be awesome. I'm all for U2 covering songs that are heart on your sleeve epic anthems - exactly what they specialize in. And more obscure songs are more interesting possibilities to me that classic rocks standards - Pink Floyd and Led Zep and such.
