I know U2 seems to be past the point of playing other performer's songs (except in snippet form), but if you could have U2 perform a cover of any song, what would it be?


I've always thought they should do a cover of The Killers' "All These Things That I've Done." (Can't you picture Bono pointing at his "Soul" shoes and singing "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier?")

Rain and C'mon Everybody have been my favourite covers to date. I'm absolutley stuck as to what I would like them to cover. I'll come up with something though

Hurt (Johnny Cash, who stole it from Trent Reznor ok that's true)
But Bono would really make this even more beautiful... And he already song "You can HAVE it all" snippet, don't know if it was ment from this song though )

Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus (one of the greatest songs ever!) or Enjoy The Silence

Yesterday - Beatles - imagine Bono's voice :O

Doesn't Remind Me - Audioslave - would be awesome!

Love In Vain - The Rolling Stones (incredible)

Funny, when I was listening to my Johnny Cash-CD yesterday and Hurt was playing, I was thinking the exact same thing, wondering what U2 would make of this.

There's lots of songs I would like to see them cover, just to name a few:

Secret Garden - Bruce Springsteen
Hanging by a Moment - Lifehouse
Ashes - Embrace
Rags 'n run - Admiral Freebee
Mr. Brightside - The Killers
A New England - Billy Brag
Open Your Eyes - Snow Patrol
Hard Times - The Scabs
I Miss You - Blink 182
