U2 albums by other artists - playlist ideas

Originally posted by derrickrossignolk i started this in the Interference forum, thought i'd post it here too

OK, here's what I have in mind. We create and post playlists that have songs that are similar in style to U2 songs from a particular album or time period. I think this would be a great way to open up others to new artists and songs, especially those of a U2 nature.

For example, here is a playlist I made of songs that sound like a Pop album (kinda like Zooropa too)

song - artist
Stop Don't Panic - Jamiroquai
Hurricane - Athlete
Over and Over Again (Lost and Found) - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
I Don't Need Anymore Friends - Collective Soul
Watch Us Work it - Devo
Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors - Editors
Not Ready Yet - Eels
Why - Elefant
Think Twice - Eve 6
Read My Mind - Killers
Pop Muzik - M
Starlight - Muse
The Zephyr Song - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Big Chair - Travis

please share your own!

i was also going to say Read My Mind - The Killers, it sounds like the begining of Streets.
how about Give Me Novacaine - Green Day, This Sounds Like Bullet The Blue Sky.
