I think it's a great version. The original is fine enough, but for whatever reason, I like the sound of Edge's guitar better in the song. Same with Paint it Black.

I think U2's version is very forgettable. Not a fan.

Johnny Cash covering Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." It's impossible to listen to without getting emotional. A dying man looking back on his life, taking the song out of its original (heroin) context and making it his own. It's totally draining and just incredible. Impossible to listen to just once.

What about Pet Shop Boys' "Where The Streets Have No Name"? Just kidding...

CCR's version is shorter, I like the ending of U2's version. It's rather good, I think.
