Pick a cover, any cover!

Originally posted by haytrainI 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?")

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 )

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
